Guidance for innovative lung MRI

Imaging technique developed at the MHH enables regional imaging of lung function without radiation exposure and breathing stops. Recognizing and assessing lung diseases is a medical challenge. Conventional computed tomography…

Vaccine against the MERS coronavirus

…tested as safe and effective in phase Ib clinical trial. The MERS coronavirus—MERS stands for “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome”—causes severe respiratory diseases with a high mortality rate. To date, there…

Ovulation filmed from start to finish for the first time

Approximately 400 times in a woman’s life, a mature egg makes the “leap.” It is released into the fallopian tube, ready for fertilization by the sperm. Researchers led by Melina…

The hidden role of air pollution in cognitive decline

Air pollution is often viewed as an outdoor hazard and a threat to respiratory health. Emerging research shows that air pollution may also affect our brain health. Fine particulate matter…

3D structures of biomolecules

– “dictionaries” make fluorescence-based data accessible. A research team from Germany and the USA led by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has developed a data description that can provide results…
