Introduction One millimetre in size - and yet one of the greatest masters of modern biology: the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been a model organism used by researchers for decades to decipher the fundamental principles of life. At the beginning of January 2026, MIT published an article celebrating just that: „Worm science“,Continue reading

A new standard in microsurgery? When peripheral nerves are severed - in the hand or fingers, for example - traditional reconstruction is challenging: nerve endings are coaptated (joined together) with extremely fine sutures under the operating microscope so that regeneration has any chance at all. This is exactly where an innovation comes in that will have a big impact in 2025.Continue reading

Abstract An IEEE review paper describes how very weak magnetic fields (nT-µT) could alter reactive oxygen species (ROS) via „radical pair“ mechanisms - with effects on cell growth, in some cases also in cancer cells. What is proven, what is open? Introduction: Why „weak“ fields are exciting in the first place Non-ionizing fields are everywhere - from power grids (50/60 Hz) to radio applications toContinue reading
