    Natural movements with artificial legs

    Prosthesis users find it very difficult to cope with everyday situations: artificial legs do not always work as they should and movements often tend to be fairly awkward. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart are to present a motion control system that enables prosthesis users to intuitively move the prosthesis in the same way as a natural leg. The new system will be presented at…

    Helpful toxins

    Sometimes a few nanogrammes of toxin are all that is needed to kill someone. Prof. Dr. Dr. Klaus Aktories from the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Freiburg is investigating why some bacterial toxins are so extremely toxic. Together with his team of researchers Aktories has identified the molecular mechanism of action of Clostridium difficile toxins.

    Differences between white, brown and “brite” fat tissue

    The latest results on the different metabolic pathways used by white and brown fat cells and potential transformations between the two cell types were discussed at the conference “Metabolism 2012: From Signalling to Disease” held on 15th and 16th November 2012 in Heidelberg. A special cell type, so-called “brite” adipocytes, may have the potential to be used in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

    KIT researchers attempt to grow cardiomyocytes in Petri dishes

    Regenerative medicine specialists are aiming to be able to grow complete organs from stem cells some time in the future. However although the microscopically small cells are able to do many things they are not able to grow organs on their own. Dr. Alexandra Rolletschek and her team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT are investigating how stem cells can be grown into heart muscle cells cardiomyocytes in Petri dishes.

    The interplay of forces

    Biomechanics not only deals with forces and movements generated by an organism, but also with the effects of external forces acting on cells and organs: Mechanical forces can be specifically used to boost changes in the body. Scientists in the Continuum Mechanics Department at the University of Stuttgart are investigating the biomechanical basis of such forces and their effects.

    Going through the eye of a needle: Translating research findings into individualised patient treatment

    Anyone attempting to assess the importance of pharmacogenetics for drug safety will inevitably end up considering the ambiguous responses of Radio Eriwan. It is true that genetic tests are theoretically able to predict whether an inactive enzyme affects the metabolism of a drug and whether it is necessary to apply a different drug dose. But how can this knowledge be applied in everyday clinical settings when patients with this inactive enzyme are…

    Parkinson's disease: vitamin B3 has a positive effect on nerve cells

    Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the world. There are around 4.1 million sufferers worldwide. It is characterised by motor impairments that result from the death of certain nerve cells in the brain. Researchers at the University of Tübingen have now discovered that vitamin B3 has a positive effect on damaged nerve cells and can boost their energy metabolism.

    Gene doping detectable with a simple blood test

    Scientists at the universities of Tübingen and Mainz have developed a blood test that is able to provide conclusive proof of gene doping. The test is still effective even if the actual doping took place some time before the test. The new test is based on a procedure developed in Tübingen in 2006 that enables transgenic DNA to be detected in the blood. The efficiency of this procedure has now been proven for the first time in laboratory mice.

    How to organise cooperations effectively

    In order for a company to make efficient use of its potential and its specific skills it must focus on its own core competences and on the cooperation with other companies that have supplementary skills. This is all the more important in economically difficult times when investors and banks tend to shy away from investments. The implementation of cooperations between companies raises a number of general issues as well as specific issues relating…

    Metabolic diseases

    Metabolic diseases are characterised by disorders of the intermediary metabolism which can either be inherited or acquired. The extent and incidence of metabolic diseases can differ considerably and can range from widespread diseases such as diabetes to rare congenital diseases that frequently have a fatal outcome. Through new approaches in genome research amongst other things science and industry are increasingly focusing on metabolic diseases.

    Cardiac or intestinal progenitor cells? What controls the fate of pluripotent stem cells?

    Cell fate decisions are made in the early mouse embryo when it is nothing more than a spherical mass of cells. A molecule known as eomesodermin determines whether pluripotent stem cells become cardiac or intestinal progenitor cells. Dr. Sebastian Arnold and his research group at the Freiburg University Medical Centre have recently discovered why one single molecule can have a twofold effect. These findings provide Arnold and his team with greater…

    How plants change their shape – researchers at KIT investigate cytoskeletal processes

    Organisms have two possibilities when they encounter inhospitable environmental conditions: to run away or to adapt. As plants have no legs, they therefore need to adapt rapidly to unstable environmental conditions. A plant is hugely flexible in terms of its shape and one of the things that makes this possible is its cytoskeleton, a scaffold consisting of specialized filaments. A group of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)…

    Microchip facilitates bowel movements

    Faecal incontinence is a common problem, but is still a strong taboo. A small microchip, implanted above the sacral bone, promises to make sufferers’ lives a lot easier. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) not only restores patients’ ability to control defaecation, but also provides new insights into the innervation and physiology of the bowel and the pelvic floor.
