Detecting diseases by using gene scissors

Researchers present sensor prototype that can rapidly, precisely, and cost-effectively measure molecular signals for cancer The CRISPR/Cas technology can do more than alter genes. A research team at the University of Freiburg is using what are known as gene scissors – which scientists can use to edit genetic material – in order to better diagnose

What about using insects for biological warfare?

A project by a research agency of the US Department of Defense could easily be misused for developing biological weapons Owing to present-day armed conflicts, the general public is well aware of the terrifying effects of chemical weapons. Meanwhile, the effects of biological weapons have largely disappeared from public awareness. A project funded by a

Why trust should play a crucial part in the development of intelligent machines for medical therapies

Robots as Tools and Partners in Rehabilitation In future decades the need for effective strategies for medical rehabilitation will increase significantly, because patients’ rate of survival after diseases with severe functional deficits, such as a stroke, will increase. Socially assistive robots (SARs) are already being used in rehabilitation for this reason. In the journal Science

About self-learning algorithms that can reliably and quickly recognize various intentions based on brain signals

Filtering information for search engines, acting as an opponent during a board game or recognizing images: Artificial intelligence has far outpaced human intelligence in certain tasks. Several groups from the Freiburg excellence cluster BrainLinks-BrainTools led by neuroscientist private lecturer Dr. Tonio Ball are showing how ideas from computer science could revolutionize brain research. In the scientific journal

Biosensors could pave the way for a personalized antibiotherapy in the future

Initial clinical tests show that biosensors could pave the way for a personalized antibiotherapy in the future Personalized drug therapy, adjusting the dose, dosage intervals, and the duration of treatment to fit individual patients’ needs, are getting more and more important. Frequently, medications are dosed in such a way that each patient receives the same

Early warning system for the next flu pandemic?

Researchers in Germany have developed a transgenic mouse that could help scientists identify new influenza virus strains with the potential to cause a global pandemic. The mouse is described in a study, “In vivo evasion of MxA by avian influenza viruses requires human signature in the viral nucleoprotein,” that will be published April 10 in

First long-term stabile brain implant

Complex neurotechnological devices are required to directly select and influence brain waves inside the skull’s interior. Although it has become relatively easy to implement the devices, researchers are still faced with challenges when trying to keep them running properly in living organisms over time. But that could be changing now, thanks to a new method

Personalized antibiotic treatment

Researchers from Freiburg have developed a sensor platform that quantifies antibiotics in human blood within minutes A team of researchers from the University of Freiburg has developed a system inspired by biology that can detect several different antibiotics in human blood or other fluids at the same time. This biosensor system could be used for

Trade in invasive plants is blossoming

Every day, hundreds of different plant species – many of them listed as invasive – are traded online worldwide on auction platforms. This exacerbates the problem of uncontrollable biological invasions. Goldenrod, Himalayan balsam, Chinese windmill palm: three plants, one problem. All are native to continents other than Europe, but were introduced to Switzerland as garden

New method detects early breast cancer via urine, highly accurate

Researchers at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Medical Center — University of Freiburg have developed an approach for detecting breast cancer by means of urine samples that is highly accurate The method involves determining the concentration of molecules that regulate cell metabolism and that are often dysregulated in cancer cells. These molecules,
