Migraine attacks return several times a month for many patients. Yet millions of people still do not receive treatment tailored to their needs. The MIGRA-MD study aims to change this with a digital, personalised approach. Dresden University Hospital is taking part and is looking for participants from the region. | more
Bare slopes, dead spruce trees and brown patches: the damage in Europe’s forests is already visible today. A new study now shows how the situation could develop in the coming decades. The figures are alarming. For the first time, an international research team involving TU Dresden has calculated how fires, storms and bark beetles could shape Europe’s forests by 2100. | more

Patients with an aggressive form of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, previously had little chance of recovery when the disease returned. Researchers in Dresden have changed this. With a new combination of therapies, three times as many patients now achieve the decisive step towards a cure. | more
Political education is considered a pillar of democracy. But who supports this pillar? A study by TU Dresden shows: The people who are supposed to inspire others for democracy work under high pressure and with little support. Dresden researchers have now systematically investigated what this means for our society for the first time. | more
Why do we choose the same thing so often in restaurants? Researchers at TU Dresden have investigated what really guides our decisions and come to an astonishing conclusion: Repetition, not reason, is often the real boss in the ring. | more

Thousands of molecules are located in our cells and control how the body reacts to stimuli. Some of them are still barely known to researchers, although they are involved in cancer, heart disease and bone loss. Researchers at Leipzig University have now pooled 30 years of knowledge about these molecules in a study. They want to make new drugs possible. | more
Blood cancer affects tens of thousands of people in Germany. For many, a stem cell transplant is the last hope. But which preparation for this procedure helps the most, especially for older or previously ill patients? Researchers at Dresden University Hospital and Kiel University Hospital now want to find out in the largest German study of its kind. | more
Zahnbehandlungen können in Deutschland schnell zur finanziellen Belastung werden. Besonders bei Implantaten, Kronen, Brücken oder umfangreichem Zahnersatz liegen die Kosten häufig im vierstelligen Bereich. Viele Patienten stehen dann vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung: Behandlung durchführen lassen und hohe Eigenanteile zahlen – oder den Eingriff aufschieben, obwohl er medizinisch sinnvoll wäre. | more
Large batteries could store surplus wind and solar power and be cheap and durable at the same time. But many of these batteries age too quickly. Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have now looked into a red-hot battery with X-rays and found out why. | more
Vacation photos of colorful butterflies are not just beautiful memories - they can advance real science. Researchers from Leipzig and Jena have shown how images from social networks can help us understand the decline in biodiversity. Their result: surprisingly good. | more
VmedD bringt moderne Radartechnologie dorthin, wo sie wirklich gebraucht wird: In die eigenen vier Wände. Denn der Wunsch ist klar: So lange wie möglich selbstständig zu Hause wohnen. Gleichzeitig wächst bei Angehörigen die Sorge vor unbemerkten Stürzen oder nächtlichen Notfällen. Genau hier verbindet VmedD innovative Sensortechnik mit echter Alltagstauglichkeit – für mehr Sicherheit im Alter. | more
For some people, discrimination begins at the official counter. A major study by the University of Leipzig has investigated for the first time how racist discrimination arises and continues in German authorities. The researchers came to the conclusion that it is not just a question of individual attitudes, but also of routines and the scope for decision-making in institutions. | more
Ground measuring stations only show part of the air pollution. An international study with Leipzig's participation proves this: At an altitude of 100 meters, particulate matter pollution can be 60 percent higher. Drones with inexpensive sensors help to close this knowledge gap and improve predictions. | more

Can apes think sustainably? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig have given chimpanzees a tricky task: Snack on yogurt or save it for the group? The result is surprising. Larger groups act much more cooperatively than pairs. The decisive factors are tolerance and the behavior of the leader. The findings could also be relevant for human societies. | more
Around one in three stroke patients suffers a relapse - often just a few days after the initial cerebral infarction. Doctors at TU Dresden are now starting a large nationwide study with 2,100 participants. They want to find out whether a combination of two drugs provides better protection against a second stroke than the current standard therapy. The Federal Ministry of Research is funding the project with three million euros. | more

Time and again, people suspect that they have fallen victim to knockout drops. But only a few go to the police. A study by Chemnitz University of Technology shows for the first time how high the number of unreported cases is and why those affected remain silent. | more
Children or a long life? This question actually arises in nature. Together with international colleagues, researchers in Leipzig have studied 117 mammal species. The result: animals whose reproduction is prevented live on average ten percent longer. The reason lies in evolution. Every living creature has to divide its energy between producing offspring and maintaining its own body. The study shows how this balance works and what it means for humans. | more

Is it possible to find people more likeable through thought alone? Yes, say researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Their study shows: Imagination changes the brain in a similar way to real experiences. This opens up new opportunities for therapy and relationships. | more

Do animals have feelings? Do they think like us? Researchers from Leipzig University and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology surveyed over 1,000 children and adults from 15 countries. The surprising result shows that people around the world think similarly about animals. But this view has direct consequences for animal welfare. | more
Learning happens in milliseconds - far too fast to observe directly. Researchers at Leipzig University have now refined a method that makes exactly this possible. They freeze nerve cells at lightning speed and can thus see how they transmit signals. The technique works in both mice and humans and could help to better understand diseases and ageing processes in the brain in the future. | more

More than one in five adults has elevated blood sugar levels. A new study by TU Dresden and King's College London now shows how important it is to normalize them. Those who bring their blood sugar back to normal levels halve their risk of serious heart disease. The research questions previous assumptions in preventive medicine. | more
