Study of mice by the University of Bonn could enable alternative methods to animal experiments in the medium term Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a method to generate embryo-like cell complexes from the stem cells of mice. The method provides new insights into embryonic development. In the medium term, it might also…
This cooperation is impaired in mutations that can cause Parkinson’s disease To break down toxic proteins more quickly, immune cells in the brain can join together to form networks when needed. This is shown by a joint study of the University of Bonn, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Institut François Jacob…
Researchers at the University of Bonn investigate the role of the transcription factor for dopamine-producing neurons The neurotransmitter dopamine influences the activity of a wide variety of brain areas. A deficiency of this substance can have drastic consequences: The death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the substantia nigra – a particularly sensitive part of the…
Study in Science: Combination of two molecules simultaneously attacks multiple sites on the surface of the virus An international research team led by the University of Bonn has identified and further developed novel antibody fragments against the SARS coronavirus-2. These “nanobodies” are much smaller than the classic antibodies used to treat US President Donald Trump,…
