Unique laser technology for the analysis of the molecular composition of biological samples
07-Jan-2020
At the biochemical level, organisms can be thought of as complex collections of different species of molecules. In the course of their metabolism, biological cells synthesize chemical compounds, and modify them in multifarious ways. Many of these products are released into the intercellular ...
New method to support physicians in leukemia diagnostics
14-Nov-2019
For the first time, researchers from Helmholtz Zentrum München and the University Hospital of LMU Munich show that deep learning algorithms perform similar to human experts when classifying blood samples from patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Their proof of concept study paves ...
15-Oct-2019
Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have explored the initial consequences of the interaction of light with molecules on the surface of nanoscopic aerosols. The nanocosmos is constantly in motion. All natural processes are ultimately determined by the interplay between ...

Treating cancer more selectively and more effectively – this could be achieved with an innovative technology developed by teams of researchers at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). The process transforms proteins ...
18-Mar-2019
LMU physicists led by Ralf Jungmann introduce an entirely new approach to super-resolution microscopy: Tiny ‘blinkers’ enable simultaneous imaging of multiple biomolecules. In everyday life, blinking lights can send signals – for example, that a car is going to turn. Now, researchers have ...
04-Jan-2019
A new imaging technique developed by LMU researchers is garnering lots of attention. Based on a method for making tissues, organs and even whole organisms transparent, it promises to transform studies of the nervous system in particular. A new bioimaging technology provides unprecedented insights ...
Chronic regeneration of damaged endothelial cells promotes the development of atherosclerosis
23-Jul-2018
Atherosclerosis – the condition popularly known as hardening of the arteries – develops almost exclusively at junctions and sharp turns in the arterial tree. This is because, at such sites, the endothelial cells that form the lining of the blood vessels are particularly sensitive to damage – and ...

Researchers have analyzed genetic data from half a million subjects in a search to identify the underlying causes of stroke, a complex vascular disease. Scientists at LMU led the the huge collaborative Project. Stroke is the second most common cause of both death and disability-adjusted ...
27-Feb-2018
Laser physicists from the Laboratory of Attosecond Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have developed an extremely powerful broadband infrared light source. This light source opens up a whole new range of opportunities in medicine, life ...
Novel electron microscope can visualize electromagnetic fields oscillating at frequencies of billions of cycles per second
26-Jul-2016
Temporally varying electromagnetic fields are the driving force behind the whole of electronics. Their polarities can change at mind-bogglingly fast rates, and it is difficult to capture them in action. However, a better understanding of the dynamics of field variation in electronic components, ...
