Ghana's pineapple farmers need more intensive training: More effective know-how training for sustainable agriculture

Establishing sustainable agriculture is the goal for pineapple cultivation in Ghana. This reduces the irreversible damage to the soil, increases its fertility and, in the end, also yields and income. (Photo: TUM/ D. Wüpper)

Simple technologies can be learned effectively through imitation, while complex methods require professional training. If Ghanaian pineapple farmers are to achieve higher yields through more sustainable agriculture, they will...[more]

7.5 million Dollar for the exploration of the colon: TUM is part of an international consortium to investigate colon functions

The large intestine - here highlighted dark - is an important part of the digestive tract: If his nervous system is disturbed, this causes chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. (Picture: Pixabay / Elionas2)

Professor Michael Schemann from the Department of Human Biology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is part of a consortium that intends to investigate the role of nerves in normal and diseased colon functions over the...[more]

The "Leonardo da Vinci Center for Bionics" was established over a decade ago at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Since then, the cross-faculty research platform has been promoting the technical development and design of...[more]

Preservation of floodplains is flood protection: TUM study gets to the bottom of rivers

The throughflow is decisive for the bottom of a body of water and the chance to change the course of the river creates habitat. (Photo: TUM/J. Geist)

The silting of rivers and streams leads to problems for fish, mussels, and other aquatic organisms because their habitats disappear. However, not only intensive agriculture and erosion are destroying these habitats. Now a study...[more]

How forest fires spoil wine: Formation of unwanted aromas in wine explained

The drier the summer, the more often there are forest fires as seen in the photo of summer 2017 in Southern Italy in the region Basilicata. When vineyards are nearby, the vine takes up the smoky aromas, which can only be ascertained in the finished product. (Photo: iStock / Angelafoto)

If wine is cultivated in an area where forest fires occur more often, such as in Australia or Southern Italy, aromas that make the alcoholic drink unpalatable can develop in the finished product. Until now, it wasn't known why...[more]

Bioengineered livers mimic natural development: Scientists discover that three-dimensional liver buds grown in a dish from stem cells mimic the molecular signatures observed during the natural development of human liver

The treatment of liver disease in the final stage is the liver transplantation. But the number of donated livers is limited. A main goal of regenerative medicine is therefore to produce human tissues that form functioning three-dimensional liver diverticuli. (Photo: Fotolia/Yodiyim)

How do cells work together and use their genome to develop into human liver tissue? An international research team from the Max Planck Institute, headed by Prof. Barbara Treutlein from the Technical University of Munich (TUM),...[more]
