Infrared spectroscopy can automatically distinguish between various types of lung cancer and genetic mutations, allowing quick and reliable statements to be made regarding prognosis and treatment decisions.
Plasmas usually have a destructive effect on enzymes. But in this instance, they supply them with a building block for biocatalysis at the push of a button.
An international research team has investigated mechanisms behind sensory abnormalities following nerve injuries.
Logging into an online shop without a password, using only the fingerprint? In this situation, it’s not surprising that users have the impression that their biometric data is transmitted to the website.
Alternative splicing can lead to the formation of numerous protein variants. For the first time, alternative splicing has now been systematically analysed for the family of glutamate receptors.
A research team has discovered a security gap in modern mobile phones that is very unlikely to have been created by accident. In fact, it should have been removed back in 2013.
Studies on tissue from patients and mini-brains made from stem cells shed light on the disease.
Rather than destroying or removing defective veins, it is possible to repair them by using a sheath. They are thus saved for later use as a bypass.
Almost all attempts to use the Ras protein as a point of attack for medications have so far failed. New knowledge concerning its structure is raising hopes of options in the development of medications.
Services like Google collect a lot of data about their users. Anyone can see the information that is stored about them. But that doesn’t scare users away. On the contrary.
At worst, a restricted blood supply to the retina can lead to blindness. Bochum researchers have gained new insights into the underlying mechanism.
A special feature in PDF documents makes it possible for two contractual parties to sign them digitally one after the other. However, the second party can also change the content of the contract unnoticed.
Bochum-based researchers have gained new insights into the mechanisms that control the flow of ions through channel proteins – and thus determine their efficiency.
The more natural the position of an arm prosthesis, the more precise the control – this is the result of a Bochum study on brain-computer interfaces in the therapy of severely paralysed patients.
Bochum researchers have discovered an unexpected effect. It might open up new avenues for developing therapies after brain or spinal cord damage.
Data for Germany show significantly more severe courses of the disease. This could be due to an increased frequency of risk factors.
Similar to the wild type virus, soap, heat and alcohol are also effective against the new coronavirus variants.
A German-Canadian research team is calling for a more comprehensive approach.
Researchers regard the overall distribution of receptors in the brain – the receptome – as a new approach for computer models that reproduce the function of the brain, and for diagnostics and therapy of mental disorders.
In a first, a research team has worked out how photosystem II is made up of more than 100 individual components.
