Study shows link between influenza virus and fever
(18 Nov 2009)
Scientists solve riddle of new mechanism in immune system
Viruses are microscopically sized parasites. They plant their genes in the cells of their victim in order to 'reprogram' them. The infected cells then no longer produce what they need to live, making lots of new viruses instead. Luckily, in most ...

Magnetic nanoparticles navigate therapeutic genes through the body
(09 Mar 2009)
PTB measures the pinpointed transport of therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases
Health professionals send genes and healthy cells on their way through the bloodstream so that they can, for example, repair tissue damage to arteries. But do they reach their destination in sufficient quantities? Scientists of the PTB have ...

Researchers isolate mouse heart stem cell
(04 Mar 2009)
Isolation, tracking of mouse stem cells ends debate on their existence
A pioneering Cornell and University of Bonn study has isolated and purified mouse heart stem cells, settling a debate over whether such cells exist. The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could allow researchers ...

Does gene variant make women more prone to alcoholism?
(09 Jul 2008)
A particular gene variant might make women more susceptible to alcoholism. At least, a study carried out by the Universities of Bonn and Sweden's Karolinska Institute makes this a plausible conclusion. Accord-ing to this, a gene in the endorphin ...

Bonn scientists discover new hemoglobin type
(19 Mar 2008)
Instruments falsely report anoxia in affected people
Scientists at the University of Bonn have discovered a new rare type of haemo-globin. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the red blood corpuscles. When bound to oxygen it changes colour. The new haemoglobin type appears optically to be transporting ...

Researchers implant embryonic cells into damaged hearts and prevent life-threatening heart arrhythmias
(10 Dec 2007)
When researchers at Cornell, the University of Bonn and the University of Pittsburgh transplanted living embryonic heart cells into cardiac tissue of mice that had suffered heart attacks, the mice became resistant to cardiac arrhythmias, thereby ...

New blood-clotting inhibitor that can be switched off by irradiation
(11 Oct 2006)
Built-in BlockerDrug and antidote in the same molecule
In cases of serious side effects or overdoses of medications, it can be vital to have a fast-acting antidote on hand. This is especially true of drugs that inhibit blood clotting, which are used to prevent and treat thromboses and embolisms, to ...

Research casts doubt on circulating stem cells
(05 Aug 2005)
Bone marrow-derived cells fail to meet high expectations says Bonn study
Adult stem cells taken from bone marrow are the "shooting stars" of their field. Many research scientists have been speculating that the cells might be able to pass through the blood into diseased organs and replace defective tissue. Such cells are ...
