The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS has developed a new technology that can significantly improve the image quality of optical microscopes. A specially designed micromechanical mirror array corrects optical distortions that occur when viewing biological tissue. This makes even fi...
Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But studying them in 3D images of cells has so far meant slow, manual work. A team from Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Biozentrum of the University ...

One big dream of ultrafast science has been to watch changes in nanoparticles or biomolecules on their natural timescale. Experimentally, this can be realized by taking two snapshots of the same object only femtoseconds (millionth of a billionth of a second) apart. However, no detector is fast enoug...
Liver cancer is difficult to treat because tumors vary greatly from patient to patient. Researchers at the University of Basel have captured this diversity by creating a collection of mini-tumors, which they use to systematically search for new treatment options. They tested more than 1,600 compound...
New and certified used laboratory equipment, manufacturer-neutral consulting, technical service, and sustainable procurement models: Labexchange brings together key services for laboratory equipment procurement. In doing so, the company is responding to growing demands for availability, cost-effecti...
The current EU Battery Regulation prescribes ambitious recycling quotas. However, the key prerequisites for efficient battery recycling are intelligent recycling processes, reliable assessment, and high-quality processing of recycled materials from lithium-ion batteries. With the SHERLOCK project, a...
Nikolaus Rajewsky and his team have built a search engine that can scan data from millions of single cells from thousands of experiments worldwide in seconds. The tool, described in “Nature,” makes it possible to answer previously impossible questions about RNA biology.
Imagine doctors had the pot...
How can chemicals be assessed safely in the future while reducing animal testing and maintaining a high level of scientific confidence? The European research community is working hard to bring about this transformation. One major step toward regulatory implementation is the European Commission’s new...
Danish biotech company Celvivo adds an industry-veteran investor to its ownership circle and, with its ClinoStar platform for 3D cell cultures, continues to build towards becoming a leading provider reshaping the future of life-science research.
Celvivo’s advanced technology grows relevant, abundant...
Fermented cocoa occasionally exhibits off-flavors that can compromise the quality of chocolate and other cocoa products. But what causes these undesirable flavors? Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich have now shown that overfermentation...
Published in Nature, researchers at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have introduced a new quantum method for examining individual molecules. By quantum mechanically amplifying the recoil momentum from a single absorbed photon, the research group led by Philipp Schindler was able to detect and ...
Are DNA traces in two liters of water enough to track how a river’s biodiversity changes over the course of a year? A study by the University of Duisburg-Essen, using the Lippe River as a case study, demonstrates how biodiversity in water bodies can be analyzed in a pragmatic, comprehensive, and cos...
Ascenion’s portfolio company sThesis GmbH is selected as one of eight international teams to receive up to EUR 1.5 million in the first phase of a SPRIND Challenge to develop novel sensor technologies for continuous hormone monitoring.
sThesis, together with its partners Helmholtz Munich, TUM Univer...
QIAGEN N.V. announced that Jonathan M. Pratt has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1, 2026. He brings to QIAGEN more than 25 years of international leadership experience across life sciences, laboratory technologies and healthcare.
Jon Pratt most recently served as Presiden...
Researchers at the University of Cologne, University Hospital Cologne, and the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research have developed a method that, for the first time, enables damage to individual cells to be precisely quantified. The method uses molecular markers – specifically gene expressio...
AI-based “tissue clocks” can estimate the biological age of human organs from histological images, researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Network Medicine (LBI-NetMed) at the University of Vienna showe...
Why does staying awake inevitably make us sleepy? Researchers at the University of Basel have identified neuronal populations in the brain of mice that become activated during prolonged wakefulness and are crucial for sleep drive. Their findings provide new insights on how the brain generates the ne...
Rye is not only a hardy and high-yielding crop, but also possesses a valuable gene pool for wheat breeding. An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has significantly improved the foundations for research and breeding by publishing a high-quality reference genome sequence. For...
