Science

Innovative method for the production of biogas

In contrast to standard methods for the production of biogas, the chemical degradation processes will in future take place in different tanks rather than in just one. Scientists of the University of Hohenheim are working on the construction of a three-part technical module that Tübingen-based AVAT Automation GmbH complements with a sophisticated measurement and control system.

Tissue Engineering: Researcher from Ulm focussed on the regeneration of auricles

The reconstruction of damaged or torn off auricles is difficult and complex. Current methods involve the reconstruction of auricles from rib cartilage, which requires the removal of three to four ribs. Now, an international group of researchers, including Nicole Rotter and her team at the University Hospital in Ulm, is working on the development of auricle transplants from autologous cells.

Current Dossier

Membrane proteins

Around thirty per cent of all cellular proteins are located in or on a biological membrane. Numerous diseases are associated with defects in these proteins. It is estimated that around 50 per cent of all drugs developed by the pharmaceutical industry in the future, will target the different membranes of cells. These are the many reasons why many research groups and biotechnology companies are looking closely at cellular membranes.

GMOs: Member States to be given full responsibility

The EU Commission proposed to confer to Member States the freedom to allow, restrict or ban the cultivation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) on part or all of their territory. The new recommendation allows more flexibility to Member States taking into account their local, regional and national conditions.

Enzymes

Metal cubes, protein landscapes and the global nitrogen cycle

Modern methods used for the production of nitrogen for use in plant fertilisers and other applications are very efficient. Prof. Dr. Oliver Einsle and his team at the University of Freiburg have found a way to investigate the reactive centres of bacterial enzymes. All nitrogen-converting enzymes contain metal ions, and it is these metal ions that mediate the underlying chemical reactions.
