Plant identification via app enables phenological monitoring

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena and the Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany, show that plant observations collected with plant identification apps such as Flora Incognita…

New catalyst accelerates release of hydrogen from ammonia

Cooperation project involving Kiel University aims at facilitating import of sustainably produced energy. Germany can probably only meet its demand for climate-friendly hydrogen by imports, for example from South America…

Protection from an unexpected source

Contrary to common belief, not all viruses are harmful to their hosts. Sometimes viruses can even protect their hosts from infection by other viruses. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for Medical…

Different forms of cellular adhesion structures can interconvert

Cells form adhesion structures to anchor themselves in their environment. The coordinated assembly and disassembly of these adhesions also enables cells to move from one place to another. There are…

Can genetic parasites alter interactions between microbes and hosts?

Researchers from the Max Planck Institutes (MPI) for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and for Biology in Tübingen have made significant progress in understanding the evolution of interactions between plants and…

TREM2: a new player in atherosclerosis

TREM2, a receptor on the surface of macrophages, could play an important role in atherosclerosis. A publication in Nature Cardiovascular Research from the University Hospital Würzburg (UKW) and the Medical…
