Yes and no, according to moral philosophy. Individual measures alone can’t stop climate change. We are therefore obliged to intervene as a collective.
Leaving oil behind and moving towards renewable raw materials: the chemical industry hopes to succeed in this with the help of microorganisms and enzymes.
Therapy and diagnostics of tumours in only one step is possible with the aid of so-called theranostic agents. A concept for a new one has been implemented at RUB.
Critically ill patients present a similar or even stronger immunity against the virus than convalescent patients. This supports the theory that severe infections might be linked to an exaggerated immune reaction.
To unmask their impairments, researchers had to come up with a unique experimental design.
A small but important step towards a successful immune reaction is performed by an impressive nanomachine. Researchers use simulations to understand how it works.
Bacterial enzymes are often powerful but also very sensitive catalysts. To call up their performance, they therefore need a special environment.
No one can remember the first years of their life. A study suggests possible reasons.
Efficient catalysts are crucial for energy conversion. However, findings from basic research rarely make it into practice at present.
In hydrogenase enzymes, the transports of protons and electrons have been considered to be separate events until now. However, coupling is the key to success here.
Even patients with suppressed immune systems can achieve a strong immune response to Sars-Cov-2. A test helps to adapt therapy following an infection.
Until now, unwanted by-products have always been produced during the reactions. The catalyst opens up new applications.
For six years now, countless calls have been handled via the Voice over LTE telephone standard. The calls were not tap-proof.
Results from cell culture experiments show that commercially available preparations have an effect on Sars-Cov-2 viruses.
In the past, the catalyst for the production of methanol had eluded all attempts to clarify its surface structure. Now researchers have learned more about its active site.
A Swiss-German team presents a test that determines the amount of neutralising antibodies within a short period of time.
Longer drug holidays from osteoporosis treatment with bisphosphonates are associated with an increase in fracture risk in patients who already have vertebral fractures.
Tiny drops of blood are expected to provide millions of data points for big-data analysis in personalised medicine. In order to expand this concept, the European Research Council is funding a Bochum team.
An international team showed that an endogenous protein prevents the virus from fusing with host cells. This raises hopes for new therapeutic approaches.
Some catalysts show remarkable high activity. Thanks to water.
