    the activity of their genes. One of the proteins that plays a key role in gene activation is BRD4. To measure cellular BRD4 activity, the laboratory of Stefan Kubicek at the CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) had generated a cellular reporter system in 2016. Now the researchers were able to apply this model to systematically test whether loss of any of the approximately 23,000 human genes resembles BRD4 inhibition. ...

    parabolic flight maneuver of an airplane, the passengers are subjected to alternating phases where they experience heightened but also lowered g-forces, including weightlessness or “microgravity”. The team of scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) und TU Wien exploited these effects to test the influence of varying gravitational forces on a quantum system consisting of entangled photons. Their experiment was conducted on board of an airplane of the company ...
