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...
A microscopic algae that serves as a wastewater treatment plant, a CO₂ sink, and a source of raw materials all at once? A research team at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (hda) aims to make this a reality. The idea: In the future, microalgae could purify industrial wastewater, sequester cli...
Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to utilize these properties to make artificial materials. However, arranging proteins and synthetic molecules together with a high level of structural precision is no easy task. This is...
Boehringer Ingelheim that it has acquired Evax AG, a Swiss biotech company focused on equine health. Founded more than a decade ago at the University of Zurich, Evax has been exploring the use of therapeutic vaccines to address significant unmet needs in horses, particularly for the treatment of all...
The development of new active compounds to combat infectious and tropical diseases requires high-performance research infrastructures and close collaboration between science and industry. The role that modern laboratory automation plays in this process was the focus of a visit on August 13 by Member...
While the German mechanical and plant engineering industry continues to struggle with stagnant revenue, the Uhlmann Group remains on its growth trajectory: With revenue of €538 million, the Group achieved 7% growth in fiscal year 2025/26 compared to the previous year. Incoming orders amounted to €49...
Computomics GmbH has raised EUR 6.3 million in new equity in a Series B financing round led by Convent Capital Agri Food Fund, which invested EUR 5 million. Existing investors including High-Tech Gründerfonds, MBG Baden‑Württemberg and Amathaon Capital participated, alongside founders and scientific...
Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a missed opportunity: if all you do is count electrons, any additional quantum information they carry remai...
Obesity is a global health concern that can contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other metabolic disorders. Though there are many health conditions that can lead to it, an increasingly worrying cause is right on the grocery shelf, high-fat foods. These foods are known to be hard to re...
Stem cells offer numerous new applications in research and industry. Traditionally, they are cultured in the laboratory as 2D cell layers. However, this method is not suitable for large-scale commercial production. The research consortium coordinated by the MHH now aims to change this and develop a ...
Vaderis Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing targeted therapies for rare vascular diseases, announced the closing of a private $152 million Series B financing and initiation of HEROIC, the company’s global Phase 3 clinical study evaluating engasertib (VAD044...
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Varex Imaging Corporation jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Teledyne will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Varex for $18.90 per share payable in cash. The aggregate value for the transaction is appro...
Exobiosphere, the space biotechnology company advancing drug discovery and biomedical research in microgravity, has secured €1 million in non-dilutive funding through Luxembourg's Jeune Entreprise Innovante (JEI) aid, administered by the Ministry of the Economy .
The funding will accelerate the comp...
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) account for nearly 60% of adults’ and 70% of children’s energy intake in the United States. These industrially manufactured products – such as soft drinks, packaged cereals and snacks, and processed meats – are made with refined fats, oils, sugars, starches, salts and ot...
Long before humans discovered biodegradable plastics, microorganisms had already invented their own. Many bacteria and archaea produce natural bioplastics called polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), storing them inside their cells as reserves of carbon and energy.
Until now, scient...
Possibly the most effective personal choice we can make to reduce our environmental footprint is to eat less meat. This is because livestock farming requires setting aside valuable land to grow fodder, while using up vast amounts of freshwater and contributing to global warming through the emission ...
Boulevard Bio announced its emergence from stealth with $65 million from founding investor Deerfield Management and early Phase 1 healthy volunteer data for lead candidate BLVD101, a dual BAFF/APRIL-targeting bispecific antibody, supporting a 12-week (quarterly) dosing interval in IgA nephropathy (I...
Researchers are developing biotechnological processes that enable microbes to produce proteins and vitamins for human consumption using basic chemical ingredients, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen – entirely bypassing livestock farming and agriculture. Because these methods also require e...
Neandertals were generally more strongly built than most people living today. Their bones show signs of large muscles, and they had characteristic features such as prominent brow ridges and relatively short tooth roots.
Growth hormone helps shape the body by regulating the growth of muscles and bone...
