Understanding how the “heart” of the plant works may lead to protecting plants from pathogens

Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered the secrets behind how plants move sugar using a protein called the SUC transporter. This breakthrough solves a long-standing mystery of the plant 'heart' and sheds new light on how plants defend themselves from pests (photo: Colourbox)

iNANO associated researcher, Professor Birgit Schiøtt, and her research team have contributed to discovering the secrets behind how plants move sugar…

New chemical methods by the Gothelf Lab with potential for drug delivery

Method for automated solid-phase oligo(disulfide) published in Angewandte Chemie by the Gothelf Lab.

Traditional medicines typically work by targeting the body in a non-specific way, which can lead to unnecessary side effects and the need for taking…

New chemistry can extract virgin-grade materials from wind turbine blades in one process

After six days of catalysis in the laboratory, a piece of wind turbine blade was dissolved into intact glass fibers and bisphenol A, which can be used in the production of new blades – in addition to a fraction of various oligomers, which cannot be recycled. The metal piece was cast into the wing as part of the wind turbine's lightning protection. Photo: Alexander Ahrens, AU

Researchers from Aarhus University and the Danish Technological Institute have developed a chemical process that can disassemble the epoxy composite…

New study challenges our understanding of the immune system

On the left, the model that has previously appeared in the textbooks, and on the right, the new model. Until now, it has been known that the antigen (light blue) is able to bind several B-cell receptors (purple) on the surface of the cell. They bring together a number of signal molecules (dark blue and black), so that a signal is sent into the cell (the lightning symbol). The researchers have now shown that the model on the right also works. This is revolutionary, because it means that it is not the actual act of bringing the signal molecules together that leads to activation, but a fundamentally different mechanism. In the study the researchers suggest how this could work, but this part has not yet been demonstrated with certainty. Illustration: Søren E. Degn, created in BioRender.

Researchers have created a radical new view of how immune cells recognise threats such as viruses. The discovery could be used to design better…
