- A nanobody against herpes
Burning, blisters, pain: More than 40 million people worldwide are infected with the herpes virus every year. The virus can pose a serious threat to newborns and people with weakened immune systems... - Mapping the metabolism of blood stem cells
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg and ETH Zürich have created the first integrated map detailing the metabolic and molecular changes in human bl...
- Ovulation filmed from start to finish for the first time
Approximately 400 times in a woman's life, a mature egg makes the "leap." It is released into the fallopian tube, ready for fertilization by the sperm. Researchers led by Melina Schuh, Christopher ... - Intra-molecular distances in biomolecules measured optically with Ångström precision
A team led by physicists Steffen Sahl and Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen and the MPI for Medical Research in Heidelberg has succeeded in m...
- Tailored electron pulses for improved electron microscopy
Electron microscopes provide unique vistas of nanoscale structures from biology to materials research. However, their resolution is limited, among other things, by the mutual repulsion of the elect...
- Novel sensors enable precise measurement of dopamine
Carbon nanotubes glow brighter in the presence of neurotransmitters. This facilitates the easy and accurate measurement of signals between nerve cells. Dopamine is an important signalling molecu... - How potassium and sodium are conducted through ion channels
Tiny ion channels are responsible for transporting potassium and sodium to our cells. In the process, ions must pass through a bottleneck, referred to as the selectivity filter. Although the str...
