Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Nowadays it is possible to produce plastics from sugar or vegetable oils, but up to now fossil oil has been too cheap for the production of bioplastics to be profitable. That explains why the plastic-producing bacteria, developed some years ago by researchers at the Centre for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (Kemic

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct
