Allergic sensitization follows distinct regional patterns, and molecular IgE profiling can reveal these profiles in detail. An international research team has now demonstrated both phenomena in a population-based study of 1,000 adults from five cities in Türkiye that represent distinct climate zones.
1. Dezember 2025
A new study, led by the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, shows how the eyes of adult marine bristleworms continue to grow throughout life – driven by a ring of neural stem cells reminiscent of vertebrate eyes.
25. November 2025
In a study now published in iScience, researchers from the University of Vienna (Austria), National Institute of Technology - Wakayama College (NITW; Japan), and Shimane University (Japan) present the largest cephalopod genome sequenced to date.
18. November 2025
A multicenter clinical study in Austria has shown that a new, highly precise ultrasound approach can successfully target and treat early prostate cancer while preserving patients’ quality of life.
3. November 2025
UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria), manufacturer of the most flexible high-resolution 2-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printers, is entering the Chinese market.
28. Oktober 2025
For decades, stroke patients with swallowing difficulties have routinely received crushed tablets to reduce the risk of aspiration. New clinical data now challenge this practice.

Could a simple blood test reveal how well someone is aging? A team of researchers led by Wolfram Weckwerth from the University of Vienna, Austria, and Nankai University, China, has combined advanced metabolomics with cutting-edge machine learning and a novel network modeling tool to uncover the key molecular processes underlying active aging.

A simple blood test could make asthma treatment more precise, more effective – and potentially more affordable. Researchers from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) and the Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Vienna) have developed a molecular allergy chip that detects allergic asthma in individual patients.
