Researchers at the University of Bayreuth are working to understand the regulatory functions of noncoding RNAs. This expands the foundations of neuroscience and provides valuable insight into the plasticity of the nervous system.
Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are conducting cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research in biofabrication. The high-tech processes they are developing open up new possibilities for biomedical therapies.
Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are investigating how extreme weather events affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Together with their international partners, they study the local impacts of global climate change.
At the University of Bayreuth, academia and industry have partnered to form the TADFlife innovative training network. Together, they are working to develop sustainable technologies by improving the lifetime and energy efficiency of blue OLEDs.
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf have described a previously unknown mechanism in the perception of light and heat in plants. The results contribute to a better understanding of plant physiological processes. The researchers report on their findings in the journal “The Plant Cell”.
An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Janosch Hennig from the University of Bayreuth has discovered how the TRIM25 protein contributes to defense against RNA viruses whose genetic material is contained as ribonucleic acid (RNA). The results provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the human immune system. The researchers have now reported their findings in Nature Communications.
To date, there are no uniform standards for research into solid-state batteries, which are also to be used in e-mobility in the long term - even though billions are being invested in this area worldwide. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have identified the reasons for this and report on them in the journal “Nature Energy”.
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have established a new optogenetic approach in which the bacterial production of proteins can be controlled at the mRNA level with blue light. The new system gates the activation of the genetic substance particularly effectively and thus surpasses previous approaches. It provides new tools for basic research and biotechnology.
Biogeography researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed the first model that simulates the spatial and temporal risk of West Nile virus infection in resident birds, migratory birds and humans in Germany. In doing so, they are laying the foundations for a warning system for diseases whose transmission is influenced by climate change.
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new method for controlling the growth of physical micro-runners. They used an external magnetic field to assemble paramagnetic colloidal spheres - i.e. only magnetic due to external influences - into rods of a certain length. Colloidal particles are tiny particles in the micro- or nanometer range that can be used in medicine as carriers of biochemicals. These so-called microscopic bipeds change their behavior of their own accord as soon as they are fully grown: They then decide to run away. No external intervention is necessary for this. Nevertheless, their behavior is not random, but follows the experimenters' plan.
