    Maurits Ortmanns: visual prosthesis research benefits from microelectronics research in Ulm

    “Around one third of all visual prosthesis research in Germany is done by the Institute of Microelectronics at Ulm University,” said Maurits Ortmanns, a young electrical engineer who has been head of the Institute of Microelectronics since 2008. He is responsible for half of this figure and his colleague Albrecht Rothermel for the other half. The two engineers work for two German manufacturers who are developing competing versions of retinal…

    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.

    Membrane proteins and the import business of mitochondria

    The powerhouses of cells are surprisingly dependent on external help. More than ninety per cent of all proteins required by the mitochondria are produced outside the outer mitochondrial membrane. How are these proteins transported across the membrane and how do they find their way into the mitochondria? A group of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Chris Meisinger at the University of Freiburg has been investigating the role of large protein complexes…

    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…

    Sounding out human motion

    Although standing upright and moving forward may appear to be simple, they are in fact complex activities that are not yet understood in detail. Even less is known about how we hop, run and jump. Researchers at the Stuttgart-based Institute of Sport and Movement Science are looking into the ways the musculoskeletal system interacts to create movements as well as studying the effect of disorders. Computer simulation is one of the principal tools…

    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.

    Why do weightless bodies have to vibrate?

    “It is a totally new feeling,” said Ramona Ritzmann from the University of Freiburg referring to the feeling of weightlessness she experienced during her experiments on board the Airbus 300. Something that can trigger amazing sensations over a short period of time, can have seriously negative consequences for astronauts. Prolonged stays aboard the International Space Station ISS can lead to muscle degeneration. Along with her colleagues Andreas…

    Innovative navigation system enables gene shuttles to reach their destination

    If everything goes to plan the Department of Gene Therapy at the University of Ulm will soon lose a work group to industry. Florian Kreppels team plans to turn a particular technology into hard cash using a method that can do something other gene shuttles are unable to do namely transport their freight to a specific destination.

    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.

    Arming the immune system against cancer

    The theory that immune cells are able to attack tumours has long been a theory with only a minority of supporters. However, this theory is currently experiencing a renaissance. In the future, it might even be possible to specifically alter T-lymphocytes in order to improve their ability to identify and destroy certain tumour types. Prof. Dr. Hanspeter Pircher and his team at the Freiburg University Medical Centre are focusing on the development…

    New genetic cause of cardiac insufficiency discovered

    The heart needs to pump approximately 250 million litres of blood through the body during a person’s lifetime. In order to do this effectively, the cardiac muscle fibres need to be extremely resilient. A team led by Dr. Wolfgang Rottbauer, assistant medical director of the Department of Internal Medicine III at the University Hospital of Heidelberg, has discovered a protein component that is responsible for the stability of the smallest muscle…

    Molecular switches for gene expression in the embryo

    Prof. Dr. Andreas Hecht and his team at the University of Freiburg are investigating one of seven known fundamental signalling systems that are involved in almost all embryonic development processes and that determine the fate of cells. The scientists are mainly interested in gaining insights into why the same molecules initiate different genetic programmes and hence development pathways depending on the cell type where they have their effect.

    Electrified regulated protein transport

    Physiologists have for a long time regarded the communication between cells as a purely “external” process. However, research carried out by Dr. Nikolaj Klöcker and his team at the Freiburg University Medical Centre now shows that the cells do not exclusively regulate their electrical properties directly at the cell membrane. They also found a range of molecular switches in neurons and epithelial cells that are able to control the cells’…

    Researchers successfully colonize a textile implant with human stem cells

    Researchers at the Hohenstein Institute in Stuttgart, Germany developed a method to embed multipotent mesenchymal stem cells onto the surface fibers of common surgical fabric implants. Using such a product it may be possible to directly motivate the regrowth of critical tissue, such as myocardium after a heart attack.

    How HIV disables immune cells

    In order to be able to ward off disease pathogens, immune cells must be mobile and able to establish contact with each other. Professor Dr. Oliver Fackler’s group of researchers in the Department of Virology of the Institute of Hygiene at the University of Heidelberg has discovered a mechanism in an animal model revealing how HI viruses cripple immune cells: The mobility of cells is inhibited by the protein Nef.

    Cadherins – keeping cells together is not their only purpose

    If they are absent everything goes wrong. Right from the development of the embryo the cell adhesion molecules of the cadherin superfamily ensure that cells are bound together while they are developing and when they become adult organisms. Cadherins fix tissue in place and give it shape and identity. But this is far from being all that they do. Dr. Dirk Junghans and his team at the Freiburg University Medical Centre have carried out experiments…

    The lipid metabolism and the immune system

    What has the lipid metabolism of the human body got to do with inflammation? Scientists in Dr. Petra May’s group at the Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Freiburg recently found that molecules which normally regulate the availability of cholesterol and other water-insoluble substances, also interact with the signalling networks of the immune system. According to their findings, a receptor which mediates the uptake of certain…

    Martin Wabitsch was the first German pediatrician to investigate adiposity back when it was seen as a strange subject to study. Nowadays, in Germany the attitude towards adiposity has completely changed. More and more people are suffering from adiposity and diabetes and are consequently at risk of contracting other severe diseases as a result. In children and young adults the situation is alarming; many children are at risk of contracting…
