A Pair of RNA Scissors with Many Functions
Arming CRISPR/Cas systems with an enzyme that also controls the translation of genetic information into protein
08-Feb-2018
CRISPR/Cas systems are known as promising “gene scissors” in the genome editing of plants, animals, and microorganisms by targeting specific regions in their DNA – and perhaps they can even be used to correct genetic defects. A team of scientists led by Juliane Behler and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hess ...
Opening the cavity floodgates
Biochemists investigate the transport of large proteins through bacterial cell membranes
25-Jan-2018
Every cell is surrounded by a membrane, which ensures the internal biochemical milieu and regulates the exchange of substances with its surroundings. In every cell membrane, there are a large number of transporters that allow only one sort of molecule to pass through. In the case of very small ...
Personalize your medication dosages
Initial clinical tests show that biosensors could pave the way for a personalized antibiotherapy in the future
18-Jul-2017
Personalized drug therapy, adjusting the dose, dosage intervals, and the duration of treatment to fit individual patients' needs, are getting more and more important. Frequently, medications are dosed in such a way that each patient receives the same standardized amount of a certain drug. ...
No sugar coating, but sweet nonetheless
First long-term stabile brain implant developed based on an anti-inflammatory coating
07-Apr-2017
Complex neurotechnological devices are required to directly select and influence brain waves inside the skull’s interior. Although it has become relatively easy to implement the devices, researchers are still faced with challenges when trying to keep them running properly in living organisms over ...
Personalized antibiotic treatment
16-Nov-2016
Researchers from Freiburg have developed a sensor platform that quantifies antibiotics in human blood within minutes A team of researchers from the University of Freiburg has developed a system inspired by biology that can detect several different antibiotics in human blood or other fluids at ...
Soft Probing with Optical Tweezers
Researchers have developed a method for measuring soft, structured surfaces using optical forces
13-Oct-2015
Surfaces separate outside from inside, control chemical reactions, and regulate the exchange of light, heat, and moisture. They thus play a special role in nature and technology. In the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the Freiburg physicist Prof. Dr. Alexander Rohrbach and his former PhD candidate ...
New protein found in immune cells
09-Oct-2015
Researchers of the University of Freiburg have discovered Kidins220/ARMS in B cells. They also determined that it plays a decisive role in the production of antibodies and the formation of B cells, which are a type of white blood cells. Various teams of researchers had already found that ...
Thousands of Droplets for Diagnostics
Researchers develop new method enabling DNA molecules to be counted in just 30 minutes
29-Jun-2015
A team of scientists including PhD student Friedrich Schuler from the Laboratory of MEMS Applications at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) of the University of Freiburg has developed a method for dividing a DNA sample into thousands of tiny droplets. What sets it apart from ...
Building Scaffolds in the Cell’s Power Stations
Researchers at the University of Freiburg discover a basic architectural principle of mitochondria
08-May-2015
A group of scientists led by Assistant Professor Dr. Martin van der Laan has decoded the molecular basis for the characteristic structures inside of mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and contain microscopic, strongly infolded membrane structures. These structures allow ...
