What helps in the fight against Alzheimer's? New method allows research in living cells
27.02.2024
Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people worldwide - and the numbers are rising. The interest in researching effective drugs is correspondingly high. A team led by Osnabrück biologist Prof. Dr. Roland Brandt (RG Neurobiology) has now developed a method that makes it possible to identify promising substances in living cells. The work has been published in the prestigious scientific journal "Nature Communications".
The Lower Saxony State Seminar of the International Biology Olympiad hosted in Osnabrück
09.02.2024
On January 11 and 12, the Department of Biology/Chemistry hosted the Lower Saxony state seminar for the third round of the International Biology Olympiad. A varied programme awaited the twelve participating students, including a guided tour around the Center for Cellular Nanoanalytics (CellNanOs), a visit to the Botanical Garden's rainforest house and plenty of time to get hands-on in the Explain-OS student laboratory.
Learning about adaptation from bryophytes: DFG funds priority programme for a further three years
05.02.2024
As part of a joint project, Prof. Dr. Sabine Zachgo, Dr. Felix Althoff and Lara Canova from the RG Botany investigate how plants adapted to life on land. The findings are particularly valuable with regard to current climate change – because its effects also confront plants with drastically altered environmental conditions. The good news: The German Research Foundation is funding the priority programme for a further three years.
