    ADIEU PRIVACY?
    02.10.2019
    "There is a lot at stake", warns Stefan Strauß. In his newly published book "Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society", the scientist from the Institute of Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) deals with an "endangered species". "Currently, I see a clear trend towards an ever-increasing threat to privacy", he says. In his book, Strauss considers this socio-technical problem from a systemic perspective. He identifies a central risk that ...

    and toddlers in prehistoric times. Breastfeeding, age at weaning and the selection of supplemental foods had a significant impact on infant mortality, health and demographic development of prehistoric communities. Archeologists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), together with colleagues from the University of Bristol and the museums of the city of Regensburg, were able to gain new insights by studying drinking vessels found during excavations in Bavaria. They were ...

    (UPS), which is our body’s natural way of seeking out and destroying damaged proteins. Until now TPD had been mostly studied from a structural perspective. Georg Winter’s laboratory at CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences focused on identifying and mechanistically understanding genetic determinants of sensitivity to small-molecule degraders. “We selected a representative set of five degraders, which hijack different ubiquitin E3 ...

A superposition state of two locations is different to placing an object in one or the other location randomly – it is another way for an object to exist, allowed by the laws of quantum physics. In their new study, scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Vienna, the University of Queensland (AUS) and the Stevens Institute of Technology (USA) have researched the question what happens when an object massive enough to influence the flow of time is ...

    something that is not there. Targeting mutant cells To find ways to nevertheless target BAF mutant cells, Sandra Schick, postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Stefan Kubicek of the CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences , first needed to generate a relevant cellular model. She therefore established a panel of 22 isogenic cell lines that differed only in each lacking a single different BAF subunit. In these cells, she first ...

    mutations, which can result in disease or cell death. To prevent this, organisms have developed effective ways to keep the harmful genome intruders in check. The lab of Julius Brennecke at IMBA - Institute for Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences – studies a small RNA-based genome immune system, which suppresses transposon activity in animals. At its core are piRNAs, tiny snippets of genetic information that guide a silencing machinery to find ...
