“#Real estate control policies in China can partially constrain real estate risks to banks” Junhua Jiang, University of Vaasa. Credit: Riikka Kalmi/University of Vaasa According to Junhua Jiang’s doctoral study, real estate control policies in China that aim at stabilizing or slowing house price growth can reduce two types of real estate risks to banks:…
“#Lead-Seq: A new high-throughput structure mapping method for RNA” Franz Narberhaus and Vivian Brandenburg are discussing one of the deciphered RNA structures. Credit: RUB, Marquard Researchers from Bochum and Münster have developed a new method to determine the structures of all RNA molecules in a bacterial cell at once. In the past, this had to…
“#A Neandertal from Chagyrskaya Cave” Researchers have sequenced the genome of a Neandertal from Chagyrskaya Cave in the Altai Mountains to high quality. Credit: Dr. Bence Viola, Dept. of Anthropology, U. of Toronto The researchers extracted the DNA from bone powder and sequenced it to high quality. They estimate that the female Neandertal lived 60,000-80,000…
“#Using tiny electrodes to measure electrical activity in bacteria” Bacteria sitting on the gate electrode, viewed by a fluorescence microscope.

“#How the giant sequoia protects itself” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) has developed effective strategies to protect itself against external influences in its natural environment in the Sierra Nevada. Its bark ensures that the tree survives wildfires and rock fall almost unscathed. Prof. Dr. Thomas Speck from the Cluster of Excellence…
“#How Toxoplasma parasites glide so swiftly” Toxoplasma gondii. Credit: Wikipedia If you’re a cat owner, you might have heard of Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan that sometimes infects humans through contact with contaminated feces in litterboxes. Although harmless to most people, T. gondii can cause serious illness or death in immunocompromised individuals or fetuses of infected…
“#Researchers develop easier and faster way to quantify, explore therapeutic proteins” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology in collaboration with Ohio University and Merck & Co. Inc. recently developed a new efficient method for targeted protein analysis—one they say could speed up processes for disease testing, drug discovery and vaccine…
“#Stocks of vulnerable carbon twice as high where permafrost subsidence is factored in” A time series shows ground-ice ‘atlases’ in permafrost struggling to support the active layer as soil temperatures warm and accelerate thaw. As ice is lost, we see a significant shift in the soil surface over time, and the need to account for…
“#Envy divides society” Credit: CC0 Public Domain It’s generally recognized that differences in background and education cement class differences. It is less clear when and under what circumstances individual psychological forces can drive an initially homogenous social group apart and ultimately divide it. Claudius Gros, professor for theoretical physics at Goethe University, investigated this question…
“#Latest findings on bitter substances in coffee” Model of the bitter receptor TAS2R43 without extracellular domain. Within the binding pocket: Model of the bitter substance mozambioside (blue). Credit: Leibniz-LSB@TUM; Dr. Antonella Di Pizio Coffee is very popular around the world despite or perhaps because of its bitter taste. Compounds contained in the coffee such as…
