Determine stroke risk at an early stage using tear fluid, mitochondria and AI-based data

An innovative concept aims to help prevent strokes and focuses on "predictive" rather than "reactive" medicine

28-Feb-2024 - Every year, over 100 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Ischemic strokes are the most common, but they can also occur "silently" and therefore often go undetected. This can result in serious illnesses such as dementia, depression or even suicide. In order to determine the risk of stroke at ...

Comparison of two nano rulers

Study compares two methods for distance measurement in motile proteins

08-Aug-2022 - In the Middle Ages, every city had its own system of measurement. Even today, you can sometimes find iron rods in marketplaces that determined the length measurement valid for the city at that time. In science, however, there is no room for such uncertainties, and no matter what method you use to ...
