Understanding which proteins work together

Researchers have discovered key 'units' in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain's language system. When these specific units were turned off, the models got much worse at language tasks.

A research team at the Carl Ludwig Institute of Physiology at Leipzig University has shown for the first time how the energy content of individual nerve cells in the brain changes during so-called depolarization waves, waves of activity that occur in various brain diseases. The results provide an important basis for understanding the energy metabolism in the event of an acute lack of blood flow, such as occurs in strokes.

Data from the University of Bonn call into question the standard model of cosmology. The "afterglow" of the universe is an important piece of evidence for the Big Bang.

The behavior of Antarctic krill not only reacts to external environmental influences such as light or food. It also uses its internal clock to adapt to the extreme conditions of the polar environment.

When the cellular waste disposal system goes on strike, this can have fatal consequences. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now identified a key player in this clean-up crew.

Researchers estimated about 8,500 tonnes of antibiotics end up in river systems each year after passing through the human body and wastewater systems.

The detection of energy signals from strong winter storms in the North Atlantic Ocean which travel through the Earth's core could enhance understanding of our solar system, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU).

Brain metastases often occur as a result of advanced cancer and, despite medical innovations, are still associated with a poor prognosis.

University of Manchester scientists have successfully pioneered a way to create functioning human spinal discs, aiming to revolutionise our understanding of back pain and disc degeneration in a leap for medical science.

Researchers at the University of Bern, together with scientists from Stanford University and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), have discovered a new cellular mechanism that controls the stability of messenger RNA (mRNA) in cells. When this mechanism is disrupted, tumors can grow more quickly. The findings open new possibilities for cancer therapy.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Würzburg are investigating the interaction of major global change drivers on insects.

A new study led by our Earth Sciences department has made a surprising discovery about a mysterious fossil from the Cambrian period - over 500 million years ago.

New research led by Irish scientists has uncovered how lipid-rich fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites, plays a central role in weakening the body's immune response in advanced ovarian cancer.

Wild chimpanzees alter the meaning of single calls when embedding them into diverse call combinations, mirroring linguistic operations in human language.

In public debates about refugee resettlement, a crucial perspective is often overlooked: the experiences of the refugees themselves.
