The immune system reacts similarly to a high fat and high calorie diet as to a bacterial infection

Study by the University of Bonn shows that even after a change to a healthy diet, the body’s defenses remain hyperactive The immune system reacts similarly to a high fat and high calorie diet as to a bacterial infection. This is shown by a recent study led by the University of Bonn. Particularly disturbing: Unhealthy

Laser-based weed control can eliminate herbicides

A robot automatically identifies weeds in a field and combats them with a short laser pulse. Sustainable agriculture, which avoids the use of herbicides as far as possible, could benefit from this smart idea. Dr. Julio Pastrana and Tim Wigbels from the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation at the University of Bonn are convinced of

Cannabis can reverse ageing processes in the brain

Researchers at the University of Bonn restore the memory performance of Methuselah mice to a juvenile stage Memory performance decreases with increasing age. Cannabis can reverse these ageing processes in the brain. This was shown in mice by scientists at the University of Bonn with their colleagues at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel). Old

Using nanoparticles to combat arteriosclerosis

In industrialized countries, a high number of people suffer from arteriosclerosis – with fatal consequences: Deposits in the arteries lead to strokes and heart attacks. Researchers under the leadership of the University of Bonn have developed a method for guiding replacement cells to diseased vascular segments using nanoparticles. They demonstrated in mice that the fresh

A Majority Prefers Letting Computers Decide

When individuals engage in risky business transactions with each other, they may end up being disappointed. This is why they’d rather leave the decision on how to divvy up jointly-owned monies to a computer than to their business partner. This subconscious strategy seems to help them avoid the negative emotions associated with any breaches of
