Key factors identified for regeneration of brain tissue
Researchers demonstrate in a zebrafish model that two proteins prevent scar formation in the brain, thereby improving the ability of tissue to regenerate
28-Nov-2022
Whereas cells regularly renew themselves in most endogenous tissues, the number of nerve cells in the human brain and spinal cord remains constant. Although nerve cells can regenerate in the brains of adult mammals, as LMU scientist Professor Magdalena Götz has previously shown, young neurons in ...
Light-driven molecular swing
Scientists have used ultrashort laser pulses to make the atoms of molecules vibrate and have gained a precise understanding of the dynamics of energy transfer
20-Oct-2022
When light impinges on molecules, it is absorbed and re-emitted. Advances in ultrafast laser technology have steadily improved the level of detail in studies of such light-matter interactions. FRS, a laser spectroscopy method in which the electric field of laser pulses repeating millions of times ...
Secret structure in the wiring diagram of the brain
Researchers discover a hidden order in seemingly random connections between neurons
19-Oct-2022
In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University Medical Center Mainz and the ...
Innate immunity: the final touch for antimicrobial defence
A team lead by LMU immunologist Veit Hornung has identified an important intermediate step in innate immune defence
26-Aug-2022
If bacteria enter the body, it often takes just a few minutes for the innate immune system to recognise them as foreign and set the immune defence in motion. Receptors of the immune system that recognise bacterial cell wall components play a central role in this process. An important immune ...
Complex patterns: building a bridge from the large to the small
A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales
23-Aug-2022
For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally correct formation of biological patterns is essential. To understand these processes, the principal task consists not in explaining how patterns form out of a ...
Comparison of two nano rulers
Study compares two methods for distance measurement in motile proteins
08-Aug-2022
In the Middle Ages, every city had its own system of measurement. Even today, you can sometimes find iron rods in marketplaces that determined the length measurement valid for the city at that time. In science, however, there is no room for such uncertainties, and no matter what method you use to ...
Catabolic Processes in Cells: Controlling the Danger Within
How cells protect themselves from their defective trash cans
08-Jul-2022
Trillions of cells in our body work non-stop to keep us alive. This generates waste that is decomposed in specialized cellular organs. But what happens if the cellular trash cans don't work? Researchers assume that this is the cause of numerous diseases. Biologists at the University of ...
Highly Responsive Immune Cells Seem to be Beneficial for the Brain
New Insights into the Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
16-Feb-2022
Findings by researchers from Germany support the view that hyperactive immune cells in the brain can have a protective effect in the course of neurodegenerative diseases. Experts from Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and LMU ...
COVID-19: Breakthrough infection can substitute for a third vaccine shot
According to the study, this is possible in three constellations
03-Feb-2022
According to a new study led by Ulrike Protzer, a breakthrough infection after two vaccinations achieves the same protective effect as an additional booster vaccination. According to the study by Helmholtz Munich, LMU and TUM, the decisive factor for immunity is that the immune system has had ...
Finding the invisible
Researchers have developed a method to extract more information from sequencing data
12-Jan-2022
Higher organisms store their genetic material in the nuclei of cells as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In a process called transcription, individual segments, the genes, are converted into messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs). Subsequently, the translation process produces proteins as the most ...
