Scientists identify important factor for brain development
Previously ignored DNA sequence plays important role in brain development An international research team has uncovered that a previously overlooked repetitive DNA element known as Long Interspersed Nuclear Element (L1) helps maintain neural progenitor cells, and thus plays an important role in mammalian brain development. The study, published recently in the journal Cell Reports, was […]

Chemists at FAU want to continue to increase the efficiency of organic photovoltaics
New molecule design for more solar power Chemists at FAU hope to use optimized carbon-rich molecules to push the boundaries of organic photovoltaics. In the project UP&DOWN, carbon compounds are to be designed in such a way that sunlight striking them is used significantly more effectively, thereby generating more electrical current. Spectroscopy in the femtosecond […]

New molecular mechanism discovered in inflammatory bone loss
Immune cells strengthen bones In osteoporosis, bone mass is lost and bones break more easily. The increased bone loss is either triggered by a hormonal imbalance or as the result of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. A team of researchers at Department of Medicine 3 – Rheumatology and Immunology […]

Geoscientist receives 1.7 million euros in funding
Deciphering the future of glaciers A flood wave advances on a mountain village. Water is becoming scarce in a nearby town. What sounds like a disaster movie is reality in the Tropical Andes. And all because the glaciers are shrinking. Dr. Thorsten Seehaus, lecturer at the Department of Geography, is investigating how glaciers have developed […]
