Once again, a generous EU research grant goes to the University of Würzburg. Biochemist Katrin Paeschke is being given a renowned Starting Grant of around EUR 1.5 million for her research by the European Research Council (ERC).
moreJust like Ebola, dengue fever can be fatal. This disease is also caused by a virus for which there is currently no cure and no vaccine. Researchers from Mainz and Würzburg are now proposing potential new active substances.
moreBenign tumors in the pituitary gland are responsible when adrenal gland cells secrete the stress hormone cortisol unchecked. An international team of scientists has now succeeded in mapping out in detail the molecular processes that lie behind this.
moreResearchers from Würzburg and Stony Brook have found a new weak spot in the bacterium that causes tuberculosis: Blocking a specific enzyme involved in the cholesterol catabolism could disable the bacteria.
moreThe mutation of a key enzyme results in the secretion of abnormally high levels of cortisol in the adrenal gland. A group of researchers led by Martin Lohse and Davide Calebiro from the Rudolf Virchow Center at the University of Würzburg have now succeeded in mapping out the precise mechanisms. They report on this in the online journal “Nature Communications”.
