ISTA scientists take a deep look into memory processing inside the hippocampus Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words "hippos" (horse) and "kampus" (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, scientists have not been able to link memory formation to distinct molecular signals.

Markus Markl is a theoretical physicist at TU Graz working on nuclear fusion - a clean form of energy that we want to copy from the sun.

An international research consortium, with significant participation from MedUni Vienna, has tested a novel therapeutic concept to treat virus-induced lung failure in patients with severe COVID-19 in a phase 2 clinical trial.

With a digital monitoring system developed in-house, researchers at TU Graz want to help make costly and potentially dangerous mistakes in concrete work a thing of the past.

The social context and its complex interactions must be considered and public engagement must be encouraged.

The time a premature baby spends in a neonatal intensive care unit falls within a particularly important time window for brain development.

Around 537 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes, including around 600,000 in Austria alone, and this figure is expected to rise further due to the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity.

TU Wien (Vienna) has developed a learning robot. If shown how to clean a sink, it can imitate human motions and adapt its knowledge flexibly to different situations.

An international study led by MedUni Vienna has investigated the potential benefits of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the probiotic bacterium Escherichia coli A0 34/86 (EcO83) in therapeutic applications.

For us, utilising solar energy often means generating electricity using photovoltaics. Sophisticated architectural modifications, however, make much more possible.
