Light pollution is more serious than expected: Moths not only lose their orientation directly under street lamps. Their flight behaviour is also disturbed outside the cone of light.
morePlants Save Energy when Absorbing Potassium
10/09/2024
Plants can extract even the smallest traces of the important nutrient potassium from the soil. A team led by Würzburg biophysicist Rainer Hedrich describes how they achieve this in ‘Nature Communications’.
moreHow Cells Recognize and Repair DNA Damage
10/04/2024
Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response.

Dangerous mixtures: pesticides in combination can have unexpected effects on the development of honeybees. This is shown by a new study from the Biocenter.
moreSperm Epigenome Has an Effect on Offspring
09/06/2024
Numerous studies have shown that the older the father, the higher the risk of disease for the offspring. Human geneticists at the University of Würzburg have now taken a closer look at the processes responsible for this.

Researchers from Würzburg and Berlin present a new molecule for visualising the sphingomyelin metabolism. This offers prospects for innovative therapeutic approaches in infection research.
moreChlamydia Can Settle in the Intestine
08/23/2024
Chlamydiae are sexually transmitted pathogens that can apparently survive in the human gut for a long time. Researchers from Würzburg and Berlin report this in the journal PLOS Pathogens.
moreThe Largest Genome of All Animals Decoded
08/14/2024
An international research team has sequenced the largest genomes of all animals – those of lungfish. The data will help to find out how the ancestors of land vertebrates managed to conquer the mainland.
moreAmputations Save Lives – Even in Ants
