Ein 3D-gedruckter Zahn, der alles kann

Ob Kariesentfernung, Wurzelkanalbehandlung oder Kronenpräparation – an den Zähnen aus dem 3D-Drucker können Studierende sich richtig abarbeiten. Aktuelle wissenschaftliche Studien belegen den hohen Lerneffekt, die Akzeptanz bei Studierenden und den didaktischen Nutzen des universellen Übungszahns.  
Wer in Würzburg Zahnmedizin studiert, benötigt im Schnitt 300 Übungszähne, um die verschiedenen Techniken und Behandlungen zu üben und später Patientinnen und Patienten sicher, effizient und erfolgreich behandeln zu können.  

Summer internship at the Institute of Mathematics

During the four-week summer internship, students gain insight into academic and scientific life at the Institute of Mathematics. In targeted input phases, combined with self-study phases and group work, they explore accessible mathematical topics.

In addition, they gain initial experience with programming and learn basic skills in Python and LaTeX. They design presentation formats based on what they have learned for their peers, which are used in school lectures and workshops.

Neu entdecktes Protein gibt Enzyme wie einen Staffelstab weiter

Peroxisomen kann man sich als winzige, mit Enzymen gefüllte Bläschen vorstellen, die in allen Zellen vorkommen, besonders reichlich in der Leber. Sie sind an verschiedenen wichtigen Stoffwechselreaktionen beteiligt, etwa am Abbau von Fettsäuren und Aufbau von Biomembranen wie der Myelinschicht von Nervenfasern. Sie helfen auch bei der Entgiftung von Zellen, indem sie schädliches Wasserstoffperoxid zersetzen.
