Study shows how bioactive substance inhibits important receptor
Results from the University of Bonn raise hope for new drugs against cancer and brain diseases
29-Mar-2022
The A2A receptor regulates how vigorously the innate immune system attacks diseased cells. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now been able to show for the first time how an important inhibitor binds to the receptor. In the future, the results will facilitate the targeted search for ...
New strategy for COVID-19 prophylaxis
Researchers specifically stimulate the RNA receptor RIG-I, which improves protection against lethal SARS-CoV-2 infections
18-Mar-2022
SARS-CoV-2 viruses can hide from recognition by the immune system. However, the antiviral immune receptor RIG-I can be stimulated, which improves protection against lethal SARS-CoV-2 infections. Researchers led by Prof. Gunther Hartmann from the Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Clinical ...
Protons are probably actually smaller than long thought
Study suggests errors in the interpretation of older measurements
08-Feb-2022
A few years ago, a novel measurement technique showed that protons are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s. This surprised the scientific community; some researchers even believed that the Standard Model of particle physics would have to be changed. Physicists at the University ...
Structure of central inflammation switch elucidated
Study could provide medicine with a powerful therapeutic tool
07-Feb-2022
Researchers at the Universities of Bonn and Regensburg have elucidated the structure of a central cellular inflammatory switch. Their work shows which site of the giant protein called NLRP3 inhibitors can bind to. This opens the way to develop new pharmaceuticals that could target inflammatory ...
Stem cells organize themselves into embryoid
Study of mice could enable alternative methods to animal experiments in the medium term
21-Dec-2021
Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a method to generate embryo-like cell complexes from the stem cells of mice. The method provides new insights into embryonic development. In the medium term, it might also be suitable for developing tests for substances that could be harmful to ...
New group of antibacterial molecules identified
International research group discovers promising scaffold for antimicrobial agents
19-Nov-2021
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Umeå University, and the University of Bonn have identified a new group of molecules that have an antibacterial effect against many antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Since the properties of the molecules can easily be altered chemically, the hope is to develop ...
Epigenetics: Immunisation is passed on to offspring
22-Oct-2021
Does an infection also affect the immunisation of subsequent generations? Researchers at Radboud University (Netherlands) have investigated this together with the Universities of Bonn, Saarland, Lausanne (Switzerland) and Athens (Greece). Mouse sires that had previously overcome infection with ...
Immune cells in the brain share the work
This cooperation is impaired in mutations that can cause Parkinson's disease
24-Sep-2021
To break down toxic proteins more quickly, immune cells in the brain can join together to form networks when needed. This is shown by a joint study of the University of Bonn, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Institut François Jacob in France. However, in certain ...
Persistent dysfunction in natural killer cells has been implicated in severe COVID-19 progressions
14-Sep-2021
Based on previous studies of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is known that a specific form of white immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells, make an important contribution to the early antiviral immune response against SARS-CoV-2. An international team led by the University of Bonn has now found that ...
New substance classes for nanomaterials
Nano spheres and diamond slivers made of silicon and germanium
09-Sep-2021
Chemists at Goethe University Frankfurt have developed two new classes of materials in the field of nanomaterials and investigated them together with their cooperation partners at the University of Bonn: for the first time, they have succeeded in producing a nano sphere of silicon atoms and a ...
q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process
The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge. In the broad spectrum of subjects covered, the focus is on achieving maximum quality in highly innovative sectors. As a modern knowledge platform, q&more offers market participants one-of-a-kind networking opportunities. Cutting-edge research is presented by authors of international repute. Attractively presented in a high-quality context, and published in German and English, the original articles introduce new concepts and highlight unconventional solution strategies.
