Research Team Develops Important Building Block for Artificial Cells

27-Mar-2024 - During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, Professor Jan Kierfeld and Lukas Weise from the Department of Physics at TU Dortmund University have ...

New Detergents for Drug Research

So far, it is unclear why it is only possible to make intact membrane proteins available for drug research with the help of certain detergents

02-Sep-2022 - Researchers at TU Dortmund University and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a process for producing new detergents for drug research. The purpose of the new detergents is to separate sensitive proteins from biomembranes so that they can be studied in detail for their use in drug research. ...

Scientists have discovered how to predict life of implants without animal testing

25-Sep-2018 - An international team of researchers consisting of scientists from NUST MISIS and TU Dortmund University has developed a technology to study the behavior of orthopedic implants in laboratory conditions as close as possible to the human body. The technology is notable for its ethics: the research ...

Nanoscopic gold spheres can be reversibly bound to DNA strands reversibly bound to DNA strands

02-Dec-2004 - How can individual components be assembled into larger functional units? And how can robot arms, for example, be made to "grab" specific nano-objects-and to release them at the right moment? The field of biotechnology presents interesting approaches to these problems. Researchers at the ...
