Our well-being depends heavily on the family constellations in which we live, especially our position in the generational structure. Studies show that family relationships play a key role in health and well-being throughout the life course, especially in old age. The new study by Bettina Hünteler and Karsten Hank shows that these effects are complex and that multiple role transitions within a family system are crucial. People with a small “kinship reservoir” are more likely to suffer from physical impairments, while people in three-generation families are less likely to suffer from depression and physical impairments.

Antlions inject a complex venom mixture into its prey, which differs in composition and effectiveness from the venom of related green lacewing larvae and reflects the specific ecology of the species.
On the one hand, this is unusual, as most animals harbor a large number of microorganisms
The research group uses infrared interferometry to investigate the physical properties of young stars, stars in later stages of development and active galactic nuclei in the visual and infrared spectral region.

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?
Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is able to quickly recognize patters
Eugene W. Myers never attended a biology course. But despite this fact, he has made a career for himself in this field, and in developing a computer program, made a major contribution to decoding the human genome. The bioinformatician has recently become Director at the the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, and the Klaus-Tschira Chair of the Systems Biology Center in Dresden. Here, he and his team will develop new light microscopes and computer programs to analyze the images produced by them.
On the other hand, he acquired insights into various cultures and ways of life, and

In most labs, organoids are still largely produced individually by hand.
