🤝🧬 #LMU und BioM starten strategische Kooperation, um Life-Sciences-Ausgründungen früh zu fördern – mit Zugang zu Infrastruktur, Netzwerk, Industrie und Investoren. Ein Impuls für #Biotech, #Medizin und #DigitalHealth in Bayern. #LMUMuenchen #LifeSciences #Startups www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/...
🧬🌊 In the #IndoPacific, many #sponge species occur only in very limited regions. Genetic analyses by #LMU geobiologists show how strongly sponge populations can be isolated – challenging the long-held assumption that many species are distributed worldwide. #Biodiversity www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/...
How can protein regions keep their function without a stable 3D structure? A new #LMU study shows that intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) rely on the interplay between short binding #motifs & the overall chemical context of the sequence. More in the article:
