What happens in the brain after a stroke?
Strokes are one of the main causes of long-term physical and cognitive impairment. A DFG project at the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg is researching cellular level processes in the brain following an ischemic stroke, in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. These processes are poorly understood and could be the key to new therapies.

New measuring device should improve the development of vaccines
New lipid-based medications like the mRNA vaccine used during the corona pandemic are very sensitive. A measuring device developed at the interface of the Institute of Theoretical 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏icine and the Institute of Physics at the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg can now measure the structure of such medications in a frozen state. This should make for safer storage and enable the development of more stable vaccines. The project is being funded to the tune of �1 million by the Federal Ministry for Economic A/airs and Climate Action and the European Social Fund
