Left: the silk cocoons of hornet larvae appear to have filtering properties that are of great interest. Top right: the nose filters out particles in the air we breathe, thus protecting the lungs. Bottom right: wind pollination is a process in which pollen from female flowers are “filtered” out of the air.
🕸️🐺 Silk cocoons, nasal cavities, spider webs? Our biologist Dr Leandra Hamann explores how nature can inspire new filtration systems for humans. Learn more in the interview: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/futu...

The graphic shows the connection between maternal obesity and metabolic switch: Metabolites from the mother permanently reprogram Kupffer cells. This changes their function, causes liver cells (hepatocytes) to accumulate fat and ultimately leads to a fatty liver.
Children of obese mothers are at higher risk of developing metabolic disorders, even if they follow a healthy diet. A new study shows liver immune cells are "reprogrammed" in the womb — changing the body's metabolic rhythm for life. More: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/110-...

A collage with symbolic images of all eight clusters of excellence. A man working on a machine, an observatory, two people in a field, a woman writing something on a piece of paper, a woman in front of a device, a man writing something on a blackboard, an exhibition, a woman looking through a telescope.
A landmark success! The University of Bonn secured funding for all six existing Clusters of Excellence and both new initiatives – more than any other German university. More: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/095-...

graphic: mast cells are packed with substances - which they release upon coming into contact with allergens (above). Blocking the responsible receptor prevents release, thus hindering a strong inflammatory reaction (below).
A team of researchers led by the #UniversityOfBonn has now identified a promising bioactive compound that could effectively reduce symptoms and slash fatality risk for difficult-to-treat allergies.

How reliable are #AI predictions in natural sciences? A new publication from #UniBonn shows: not everything that seems plausible is actually solid. How can relevant results be identified? When is validation worth it? Read more here: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/063-...
