    The Achilles heels of cancer cells
    07.09.2020
    candidates are there? Ameres: The number of possible candidates is extremely large and you have to systematically test different classes in this "chemical space". Fortunately, our partner Evotec has excellent know-how to effectively carry out these tests on large numbers of systematically selected molecules. This gives us access to an enormous number of candidate drugs. What types of cancer can be targeted by drugs developed in this way? Ameres: Cancer is an extremely ...

    Virtual perspective of rare diseases
    04.11.2019
    "It looks like a beautiful starry sky: 15,000 bright points, different distances apart and interconnected", says Julia Pazmandi, PhD student at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases. She is describing the world that you enter when you put on the VR glasses and headphones in a special lab and pick up two joysticks. In fact, the shimmering network is not a ...

    Human migration under the microscope
    14.02.2020
    HistoGenes about? Walter Pohl: The HistoGenes project brings together different disciplines: genetics, archeology, history and anthropology. It is about using new ways of analyzing ancient DNA to learn more about the population history of Eastern Central Europe. We want to examine the living conditions of people in the turbulent times of migration. Nowhere else in Europe between 400 and 900 AD were there so many migratory movements of different peoples as in the Carpathian ...

    SAFE QUANTUM COMMUNICATION WITH EIGHT FRIENDS
    03.09.2020
    measure when photons arrive and publish the arrival times. "If two network participants want to communicate, they have to find photons arriving at the same time. These are then part of an entangled pair and can be used for encryption. Since we use different wavelengths, the communication partners can concentrate on the relevant wavelength and ignore the remaining photons. This also works for several parallel connections," says Wengerowsky. The actual communication does not ...

    NECROPOLIS IN THE BALKANS PROVIDES UNIQUE INSIGHTS INTO LIFE AND DEATH IN PREHISTORY

    objects such as vessels, bronze jewellery, iron weapons and glass beads. Women's graves had significantly more burial gifts with different types of jewellery. This also includes metal finds that prove communication with more distant areas along the lower Danube and in Macedonia. No comparisons are known for some local forms of jewellery, so they are introduced as new types in the specialist literature. The find also provides insights into the first appearance of iron ...

    Basophils - underestimated players in lung development
    12.10.2018
    Research of the Medical University of Vienna could establish the first comprehensive map of lung cell types and their inter-lineage crosstalk during development. An unexpected finding: basophils, immune cells that were hitherto held responsible for allergic reactions, reside in lungs where they develop into a special subtype that produces crucial growth factors and cytokines. These cells are different from previously described basophils that circulate in the blood, and their ...

    "No solar system like ours found so far"

    possible, depending on what you consider "life" and "second Earth" to mean. A planet that is similar in all ways to the Earth, also in terms of the type of life, will be hard to find. This is because of all the apparent coincidences that have made the Earth look like it does now. However, there may be other forms of life that are significantly different to that on Earth. In this regard, I believe that it is quite possible that we will find several potentially habitable ...

    Donald Trump’s Religious Base: The Role of Evangelicals in U.S. Politics
    22.12.2025
    hedonistic lifestyle – is regarded by many evangelicals as chosen by God? Andrew Bunnell: To understand the many different groups of evangelicals, you have to step back and consider that about 150 million people in the United States would classify themselves as evangelicals. So there are many different types of people under that label, “evangelical” somewhat similar to how many different types of classifications fall under the label “catholic” in Europe. I see four ...

    New mechanism controlling the master cancer regulator uncovered
    16.11.2018
    represents a major advancement. The study not only sheds new light and details on the regulation of a central growth-promoting protein, but also offers a molecular explanation for an unusually large number of pathological conditions, ranging from different types of brain and pediatric cancers to developmental pathologies like Noonan syndrome. The research team found that the protein called LZTR1, in concert with its copartner cullin 3, regulates RAS by attaching to it a ...

    Faster than allowed by quantum computing?
    01.02.2019
    What has once been science fiction is now real technology in our pockets. But computers are physical objects. And as quantum computation has taught us, new insights into physics can sometimes lead to new types of computers. What kinds of computers would be conceivable if physics worked differently? The quantum physicists Markus Müller from the Viennese Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and Marius Krumm from the ...
