Erste umfassende Kartierung von epigenetischen Veränderungen über mehrere Generationen zeigt, dass diese oft kurzlebig sind und daher wahrscheinlich nur selten die Evolution beeinflussen
Experimente zeigen, dass veränderte Methylierung Hand
Atmospheric model calculates changes in air quality over the coming decades

People all over the world are trying to protect themselves against the consequences of climate change – often with some counter-productive effects. Measures that should keep climate change in check can also end up as maladjustments, even if they are not explicitly named in the UNEP Frontiers Report 18/19. An interview with Ulrike Niemeier, a scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, on just how sensible such activities are.
On the one hand, you could remove CO2 from the atmosphere
Our Yearbook 2016 showcases the research carried out at the Max Planck Institutes. We selected a few reports to illustrate the variety and diversity of topics and projects.
It ensures that we pull our hand away from a hot stovetop

Artificial intelligence (AI), such as machine learning with neural networks, opens up new possibilities in many areas such as science, technology and medicine, but also raises questions of ethics. Do the benefits or risks outweigh the risks?
It is, on the other hand, particularly hard to beat
Während des Rollens entlang dem Endothelium sind Leukozyten verschiedenen entzündlichen Mediatoren ausgesetzt, die unterschiedliche Signalwege aktivieren. Diese Signalwege aktivieren Integrine, die für die Leukozyten-Extravasation notwendig sind.
On the other hand, mechanisms that counteract and balance
Wie kam es zum Wirtschaftsboom Chinas, und welche Faktoren können zur Destabilisierung des chinesischen Erfolgsmodells führen?

Synthetic fuels could make heavy goods traffic climate-friendly in the future. A team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, RWTH Aachen University, and ETH Zurich is now presenting a synthesis route that can be used to produce a fuel, known as HyFiT fuel, made from biomass or CO2 that can be used to refuel conventional combustion engine
