A new class of antibiotics is highly effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens

A research team from the Universities of Tübingen and Göttingen as well as from the German Center for Infection Research has investigated the mode of action of a new class of antibiotics that is highly effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens. The so-called fibupeptides impair the energy supply to the bacterial cell, consequently causing their death. The research

Reprogramming memory cells in the brain

Tübingen Neuroscientists reprogram brain cells to investigate how place memories are formed Long-term memory of specific places is stored in the brain in so-called place cells. A team of neuroscientists headed by Dr Andrea Burgalossi of the University of Tübingen’s Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) have now ‘reprogrammed’ such place cells in free-roaming

Inexpensive self-manufactured lab equipment for research, training and teaching

Tübingen neuroscientists develop inexpensive, self-manufactured lab equipment Laboratory equipment is one of the largest cost factors in neuroscience. However, many experiments can be performed with good results using self-assembled setups involving 3-D printed components and self-programmed electronics. In a study publishing July 18 in the open access journal PLOS Biology, André Maia Chagas and Tom Baden

Research on the effect of nerve cell stiffness on sensitivity to touch could lead to new painkillers

For many patients with chronic pain, any light touch – even just their clothes touching their skin – can be agony. Scientists at EMBL and the Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) of the University of Tübingen have found a possible new avenue for producing painkillers that specifically treat this kind of pain. In

Global boom in hydropower expected this decade

An unprecedented boom in hydropower dam construction is underway, primarily in developing countries and emerging economies. While this is expected to double the global electricity production from hydropower, it could reduce the number of our last remaining large free-flowing rivers by about 20 percent and pose a serious threat to freshwater biodiversity. A new database

Peat soils as gigantic batteries

Wetlands are responsible for fifteen to forty per cent of the global methane flux into the atmosphere. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Tubingen describe a process that suppresses the formation of methane in soils that are rich in humic substances. For this process to work, the soils need to switch between having

Forget about forgetting – The elderly know more and use it better

What happens to our cognitive abilities as we age? If your think our brains go into a steady decline, research reported this week in the Journal Topics in Cognitive Science may make you think again. The work, headed by Dr. Michael Ramscar of Tübingen University, takes a critical look at the measures usually thought to

Breakthrough in retinal implants expected to restore sight to the blind

Researchers at the University of Arizona and University of Tübingen have made a breakthrough in retinal implant technology that could help people who have lost their sight see more than just light and vague shapes. Wolfgang Fink, an associate professor in the UA departments of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering, is researching new implant

How Pesticides Change the Environment

Tübingen researchers ask: do herbicides alter ecosystems around the world? Scant research makes it hard to prove. The number of humans on the planet has almost doubled in the past 50 years ? and so has global food production. As a result, the use of pesticides and their effect on humans, animals and plants have

Nanotechnology device aims to prevent malaria deaths through rapid diagnosis

A pioneering mobile device using cutting-edge nanotechnology to rapidly detect malaria infection and drug resistance could revolutionise how the disease is diagnosed and treated. Around 800,000 people die from malaria each year after being bitten by mosquitoes infected with malaria parasites. Signs that the parasite is developing resistance to the most powerful anti-malarial drugs in
