Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a new process for reversing the polarity of chemical compounds, also known as umpolung, for the precise synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

News from Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations.

An estimated four million people in Germany suffer from heart failure, and around half of these patients have heart failure with preserved pumping function.

A new study in the journal Nature shows that the oceans were less cold in the early 20th century (1900-1930) than previously thought. During this period the ocean appears too cold due to the way some measurements were taken. This makes global ocean surface temperature measurements during this period inconsistent with both land air temperatures and palaeoclimatic data and the differences between land and ocean are larger than shown in climate models.

In western Germany, approval of xenophobic statements has increased significantly, bringing it closer to attitudes in the east.

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it possible to modify proteins directly in living cells to give them tailor-made properties.
