New findings on bacterial vaginosis and immune reactions
A recent study involving the Medical University of Vienna in an international collaboration provides new insights into bacterial vaginosis, the most common infection of the female genital tract caused by bacteria. This disease is associated with an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, HIV and premature births. The results of the study published in the journal Scientific Reports could open up new therapeutic approaches.
When Qubits Learn the Language of Fiberoptics
Quantum computers: ISTA physicists achieve optical readout of superconducting qubits. Qubits-the fundamental units of quantum information-drive entire tech sectors.
High-Tech Video Optimization in Our Brain
Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a mechanism that corrects visual distortions caused by movement in animals. The study, conducted in mice, identifies a core function that can be generalized across the vertebrate visual system, including primates such as humans. The findings are published in Nature Neuroscience .
New method developed for diagnosing and monitoring brain tumors
An interdisciplinary research team led by the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and the Comprehensive Cancer Center of MedUni Vienna and Vienna General Hospital has investigated the potential of liquid biops
What does ’resolution’- Microscopy puzzle solved
A new microscopy method can identify molecules. However, the question of its resolving power proved to be a difficult puzzle. It has now been solved at TU Wien.
Dancing Bubbles Model a Cosmic Disaster
Quantum machine models how "false vacuum" decays into "dancing" cosmic bubbles. Our Universe might be trapped in a metastable state, called a false vacuum, awaiting a cosmic transition to a more stable true vacuum.
New mechanism for defence against coronaviruses discovered
Monocytes, the sentinel cells of the innate immune system, form the first line of defence against viral infections. A team of researchers from MedUni Vienna has now discovered a previously unknown mechanism that enables these cells to fight SARS-COV-2. The study results, recently published in the journal "Frontiers in Immunology", open up new possibilities for the treatment of particularly severe cases of COVID-19.
New Approach toward the Development of AI Systems in Medical Imaging
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) enables the creation of large, anonymized image datasets for the development of diagnostic systems.
3 months bed rest: Med Uni Graz examines bones
What happens to the human body during prolonged bed rest or weightlessness? The European Space Agency (ESA) is conducting so-called "bed rest studies" to investigate whether and what changes occur when the body is at rest for an extended period of time.
Missing link in Indo-European languages’ history found
New insights into our linguistic roots via ancient DNA analysis
