How do our genes determine the immune response to pathogens? This depends on small differences in the genome. The situation is complex, as a new study shows.
The Collaborative Research Centre ToCoTronics in condensed matter physics will be extended for four more years. The German Research Foundation is funding it with 12 million euros.
The number of infections with the fungus Candida auris is also increasing in Germany. This is shown in a new study by research teams from Würzburg, Jena and Berlin. Despite low numbers, scientists advise precautionary measures.
Which energy type promotes the biodiversity of beetles living in dead wood in the forest? That depends entirely on where the beetles are in the food chain.
Increasing heat and drought are changing forests faster than expected. Researchers at the University of Würzburg want to keep a better eye on these dynamics. The Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities is funding their project with 1.2 million euros.
A previously unknown form of hydrogel formation has been elucidated: chemists found unusual interactions between polymers.
What role do forests play as a feeding habitat for honeybees? A team led by Würzburg biologist Dr. Benjamin Rutschmann investigated this question. For this purpose, the researchers used observation hives inside the Steigerwald.
For the second time, Würzburg cancer researcher Professor Martin Eilers has received one of the prestigious ERC Advanced Grants. The award is endowed with 2.5 million euros.
Scientists at the Universities of Würzburg and Ottawa have solved the decades-old problem of distinguishing between single and multiple light excitations. They present their new method in the journal Nature.
A research group from Würzburg led by Bernhard Nieswandt deciphered a platelet-mediated regulatory mechanism of fibrin formation in blood clotting opening the way to new therapeutic approaches. Hemostasis is vital to prevent excessive blood loss. However, there is an increased risk for thrombosis if there is an excessive reaction and uncontrolled formation of fibrin. In the study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, the researchers uncover platelet glycoprotein GPV as a central regulator for hemostasis and thrombus formation.
