In der Biologie galten Zytokinine lange Zeit als exklusive Regulatoren des Pflanzenreichs, die dort unter anderem das Wachstum und die Reaktion auf Stress steuern. Dass diese Stoffe auch im menschlichen Organismus eine wesentliche Rolle spielen könnten, war bisher kaum erforscht. Ein Forschungsteam vom Biozentrum der Universität Würzburg hat jetzt jedoch nachgewiesen, dass Zytokinine systemisch in verschiedenen Organen von Säugetieren – und damit auch beim Menschen – vorkommen.

Wie lässt sich Licht so lenken, dass es robust auf seinem Weg bleibt? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigt sich Sebastian Klembt, Physiker an der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg und Forscher im Würzburg-Dresdner Exzellenzcluster ctd.qmat – Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter. Jetzt hat er den Lehrstuhl für Experimentelle Physik I in Würzburg übernommen.

Bei hochsommerlichen Temperaturen von über 30 Grad eine anspruchsvolle 8,4 Kilometer lange Strecke bewältigen: Das war die Challenge beim WVV-Firmenlauf in den Abendstunden des 18. Juni 2026.

This time, we learned from initiatives around the world that have breathed new life into dusty archives using both open and non-open technologies

With the adoption of the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in 2022, the European Commission embarked on a paradigm shift. It created a comprehensive framework that establishes rights for users of digital intermediary services—such as social media platforms or marketplaces for private listings—vis-à-vis the providers of these services. The protection of children and adolescents is a particular focus here, because although their daily lives and social interactions are heavily influenced by social media, these environments are anything but child-friendly.

The training data for generative AI systems contains millions upon millions of copyrighted works. The rights holders of this material were neither asked if they consented to this form of use nor were they compensated for it. Many celebrate the fact that texts, images, and musical works are publicly available on the internet as an achievement for free education and participation in humanity’s cultural wealth. Of course, no one thought about the for-profit companies that develop large language models on this basis.
