UDE researchers use DNA origami methodNew ways for artificial nanofactories

  • von Jennifer Meina
  • 29.07.2024

Researchers at the UDE have developed a model to regulate protein unfolding and degradation using compartmentalization strategies, which could advance artificial nanofactories. These tiny workshops, made from human molecules, may one day help detect disease markers.

Publication in Cell Chemical Biology New principle for treating tuberculosis

  • 26.07.2024

Researchers from UDE and HHU have succeeded in identifying and synthesizing a group of molecules that act in a new way against the tuberculosis trigger. This involves so-called callyaerins, which disrupt the metabolism of the tuberculosis bacterium.

Pioneering studyNew Possibilities for Reservoir Computing

  • von Ulrike Bohnsack
  • 03.07.2024

The team led by Prof Dr Everschor-Sitte laid the foundations for magnetic reservoir computing around seven years ago. Now, together with Norwegian colleagues, they have developed the idea of ferroelectric reservoir computing. Nature Reviews Physics reports.

Molecular Stop Signal IdentifiedThe Surveillance System of Cell Division

  • von Birte Vierjahn
  • 04.06.2024

During cell division, each of the resulting daughter cells receives one part of a pair of chromosomes. But how is this process monitored and how are potential errors prevented? Biologists at the UDE have been able to clarify the matter. Current Biology reports.

Reducing Global Dependence on Raw MaterialsDomestic Lime Instead of Magnesium from Overseas

  • von Birte Vierjahn
  • 14.05.2024

Regionally available, cheaper, more environmentally friendly: UDE engineers and industrial partners have developed a method of desulphurising molten iron with lime instead of imported magnesium from China. The plant is already up and running.

After stroke and heart attackA cause of immunodeficiency identified

  • von Birte Vierjahn
  • 23.04.2024

After surviving a stroke or heart attack, infections start to increase. A team from the UDE, the UK Essen and the ISAS in Dortmund has found a reason why the immune system is often disturbed after these health incidents and derived a treatment approach from this.

Decomposition of Damaged LysosomesNew Signaling Pathway Decoded

  • von Birte Vierjahn
  • 08.04.2024

Is it worth repairing the lysosome? Or is its dissolution safer? Researchers at the UDE have identified a new signaling pathway for our cells to make the decision to degrade the organelle. The biologists have published their findings in Molecular Cell.

New methods for biodiversity monitoring in Europe's riversUDE coordinates international 2-million-EUR-project

  • von Astrid Bergmeister
  • 01.03.2024

New methods for biodiversity monitoring help to detect changes at an early stage and protect nature. This particularly applies to river ecosystems. The "DNAquaIMG" project led by UDE Professor Florian Leese enables better monitoring of biodiversity in rivers.

Europe-wide studyHow Does Agriculture Affect Freshwaters?

  • von Ulrike Bohnsack
  • 25.01.2024

Most rivers in Europe are not doing well. An international research team, led by the Aquatic Ecology department at UDE, has investigated how different types and intensities of agriculture affect the ecological status of rivers.

Publication in Nature Astronomy Stars Born as Multiples

  • von Birte Vierjahn
  • 15.01.2024

Rare in humans, but apparently the norm in massive stars: multiple births. A group of international scientists, including those from UDE, have just published their findings in Nature Astronomy. The results are based on data from the ALMA observatory, Chile.

Targeted optimization of electrocatalystsPath to sustainable hydrogen

  • 18.12.2023

Catalysts play a crucial role in splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen. Yet, applying electrical voltage alters the catalyst's structure, impacting catalytic activity. This poorly understood phenomenon has been investigated.
