Researchers in Bonn use an AI algorithm to reconstruct the spatial origin of macrophages A new AI-based method reconstructs spatial information about where immune cells were originally located in an organ, even after these cells have been removed from the tissue and analyzed individually. To accomplish this, Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn use the transcriptome, i.e., the entirety of all messenger RNA transcripts produced by genes within a cell at a given time.

Study at the Universities of Bonn and Freiburg and University Hospital Bonn reveals previously unknown mechanism The powerhouse of the cells - known as mitochondria - appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell.

New project 'Iakumama 2050' at the Center for Development Research at Uni Bonn combines digital technology with Indigenous knowledge Investigating and combining new and existing technologies with Indigenous knowledge systems - that is the aim of 'Iakumama 2050.

A citizens science project led by the University of Bonn, conducted in partnership with an environmental non-profit organization, has calculated a greater-than-expected volume of litter in the Rhine.

Researchers in Bonn clarify how separate groups of neurons cooperate to embed memories in their context The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs.

When food prices skyrocket during an economic crisis, it is primarily urban populations and people with low levels of education who are affected.

Germany will only be able to achieve net zero by 2045 with a concerted approach to cutting emissions and removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere according to the conclusion drawn from the first phase of the CDRterra research program.

+++UNIVERSITY OF BONN RESEARCH TICKER: medical diversity is revealing different cultural backgrounds to our views on health+++ People's conceptions of health are strongly influenced by their cultural values and norms, such as their religious beliefs. In an increasingly diverse society, different understandings of health are combining and melding through interaction and dialogue.

Bonn research team shows how overactive cells in the lungs need "their own protective mechanism" - and how it could be switched off Why do certain immune cells remain permanently active in allergic asthma - even in an environment that should actually damage them?

Prof. Dominik Bach is setting up cutting-edge research infrastructure at the University of Bonn with funding of almost four million euros What is happening in the brain during an epileptic seizure?

In what had long been merely the stuff of dreams for archaeologists, a "smart robot" has now put shattered ancient murals from Pompeii back together, piece by tiny piece.

The University of Bonn has again succeeded in garnering funding under the GO-Bio initial grant program this year, with as many as six innovative projects attracting 100,000 euros of funding for their conceptual phase.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Although MOGAD induces symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis (MS), its underlying biology appears to be fundamentally different.

Research from Bonn combines modeling and Machine Learning - NeurIPS paper shows potential for climate adaptation and disaster control Extreme weather events such as heavy rain and flooding pose growing challenges for early warning systems worldwide.

IBM and the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics at the University of Bonn have maintained a close and productive collaboration since 1987.

Out of two possible states, photons prefer the one already shared by many other photons As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide between two states, they will favor the one that many of their fellow particles have already adopted.
