Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there is a lack of possible approaches to promote the regeneration of damaged nerve tissue in the brain. A study led by MedUni Vienna and recently published in "Nature Communications" closes crucial gaps in our knowledge and paves the way for research into new, targeted therapeutic strategies.

Up to 80,000 people in Austria suffer from ME/CFS or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. Although, the number of people affected by COVID-19 and post-infectious syndromes will continue to rise, there is a lack of public structures specialized in the care of the disease and the needs of affected patients.

A visit to Sissy's research laboratory in Kuchl is a bit like a visit to a witch's kitchen. It smells faintly of a flower meadow and when you approach the equipment, the smells remind you of various herbal teas.

Roland Beisteiner, a specialist in neurology and psychiatry at the Department of Neurology, took up a professorship (§99/1) in the field of Neurology at MedUni Vienna at the beginning of April.

Researchers at TU Wien have investigated how an artificial intelligence categorizes images. The results show astonishing similarities to visual systems in nature. How do you teach a machine to recognize objects in images? Huge progress has been made in this area in recent years. With the help of neural networks, for example, images of animals can be assigned to the respective species with a very high success rate.

Embarking on a postdoctoral journey marks a critical juncture for recent PhD graduates. ISTA wants to encourage ambitious researchers to follow their curiosity, even if it means taking risks.
