Proteins to Watch in Huntington’s Disease Research When developing assays to study Huntington’s disease (HD), scientists have a rare advantage: they know the exact genetic cause. But that hasn’t made the biological mechanism any easier to tackle. Despite decades of research, effective treatments remain limited for this progressive degenerative disease.2 HD is inherited in an autosomal-dominant […]

Gadolinium is a component of contrast agents used in MRI examinations, which can be released into the environment through patients’ urine. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now developed a sensor capable of detecting even the smallest amounts of gadolinium. Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI for short, provides detailed images of the […]

Used diapers account for a very large portion of our waste, and to date, no economically viable recycling process has been established. In the Encycling project, the NMI team led by Dr. Anne Zeck and Dr. Simon Straß developed an enzymatic process that was successfully applied to diapers from various manufacturers. Further research was needed […]
