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.
Intestinal bacteria are often the trigger of complications after surgery. This is shown in a new study by research teams from Inselspital (University Hospital Bern), the University of Bern and the University of Würzburg. A solution to this problem could come from the liver.
Chemistry professor Qing Ye wants to achieve fundamental innovations with boron-containing molecules. To this end, he has raised considerable funding, which also includes positions for PhD students.
Scientists at the Universities of Würzburg and Bielefeld detect the quantum properties of collective optical-electronic oscillations on the nanoscale. The results could contribute to the development of novel computer chips.
Video streaming is responsible for high greenhouse gas emissions. These could be reduced with relatively simple measures. A study by the University of Würzburg shows possibilities for streamers.
Elmar Wolf, professor at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, has been on the hunt for new therapies for a type of pancreatic cancer and has been awarded a two million euro ERC Consolidator Grant for this.
Large mountain ranges often offer a high degree of biodiversity. Botanist Dr. Showkat Mir wants to study the uplift induced diversification of plants in the Himalayas as part of a Humboldt Fellowship at the Julius Maximilians University (JMU) Würzburg.
The newly discovered dyscalculia mutant of the Venus flytrap has lost its ability to count electrical impulses. Würzburg researchers reveal the cause of the defect.
Mapping trees, finding heat islands: Research drones offer many new options for small-scale observation of the environment.
The search for nectar costs insects a lot of energy, so they have to be as efficient as possible. Colourful patterns on the petals can help with that.
