Fungal infections in Africa: no adequate treatment despite millions of affected patients
Together with an international team of experts, Professor Dr Oliver Cornely, head of the European Excellence Center for Invasive Fungal Infections at University Hospital Cologne, has conducted a study to investigate the current situation of clinical mycology - the treatment of fungal diseases - on the African continent, revealing significant deficits.

New algorithm for classification of skin lesions
Dermatologists typically classify skin lesions based on multiple data sources. Algorithms that fuse the information together can support this classification. An international research team has now developed an algorithm that classifies skin lesions more accurately than previous algorithms by using an improved data fusion process.

Creative Through Movement
01/14/2022 Do we have our best ideas while walking? Indeed, but even small movements while sitting improve creativity, as two researchers have discovered. Movement helps us to think creatively. This insight is over 2000 years old - and already known to the philosophers in ancient Greece. However, what is the connection between movement and cognition from a scientific point of view?

Rnatics, a startup at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has created an RNA-based drug to prevent lung damage from infections as seen in serious Covid-19 cases.
"Molecular Machine Learning" (MML) is a new branch of research with the potential to change chemical research.
How can signal paths in the brain be visualized? What role do local production networks play in globalization? How can synthetic enzymes catalyze new reactions? Five research projects at the Technica
Researchers of the University of Münster publish study on the competitiveness of battery and fuel cell electric trucks in long-haul transportation To reach the United Nations' strategic goal of an emi
Plants, like other organisms, can be severely affected by heat stress. To increase their chances of survival, they activate the heat shock response, a molecular pathway also employed by human and animal cells for stress protection.
Removing litter from oceans and seas is a costly and time-consuming process. As part of a European cooperative project, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is developing a robotic system that uses machine learning methods to locate and collect waste under water.
Despite myriad precautionary measures, virus-contaminated aerosols still pose a serious problem indoors.
/2021 A new camera system has gone into test operation at the University of Würzburg. It is designed to detect unidentified aerial phenomena using artificial intelligence methods. Time and again, people see strange luminous phenomena or other phenomena in the sky that they cannot explain. "Most of these observations concern known phenomena or objects such as birds, aircraft, satellites or clouds.
For cardiac arrest victims, minutes can mean the difference between life and death. It's vital that medical emergency response teams get to them quickly, but in more remote, rural areas this can sometimes be difficult.
12/15/2021 Seeing masked people can activate pre-existing fear of coronavirus infection. A more positive image for masks could remedy the situation.
International research team led by G öttingen University finds cacao agroforestry around tropical dry forests improves biodiversity Cacao farms not only provide us with the pleasure of chocolate, but also offer potential advantages for biodiversity-friendly agriculture.
The lives of millions of people worldwide have been profoundly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. And all of us have found different ways of dealing with these changes. But how can such differences be explained? And which strategies for coping with the COVID-19 crisis are most beneficial to whom? The global scale "Coping with Corona" project (CoCo), organised by the the University of Münster, aims to answer these and other questions.
,,I had no recognizable symptoms" 14.12.2021 Detecting lung cancer at an early stage: the HANSE Study, sponsored by the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) and the Lung Ambition Alliance, as the largest German early detection program, makes this its goal.
A medication against SARS-CoV-2
Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been made possible by an unprecedented worldwide partnership. But mediacations against Covid-19 have as yet seen only partial success. With the support of the Bavarian Research Foundation, a Munich research team has developed a protein which has reliably prevented infection by the virus and its variants in cell tests.

12/14/2021 The development of a topological laser network by a team of the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat is among the top ten nominations for the "Breakthrough of the Year Award". On 24 September 2021, a paper appeared in the scientific journal Science that caused a sensation among experts. Israeli and German researchers from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat presented a new development: a highly effective network of surface-emitting lasers only the size of a grain of sand that act as a single laser.
