New findings on T cell exhaustion

The body prepares early for mild to severe disease

Even in the case of uncomplicated infections, the body prepares itself early on for the possibility of a more severe course. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Munich has now uncovered this mechanism. The scientists showed that, right at the onset of mild illness, the body also produces special T cells previously known only from chronic, severe infections and tumors.

TUM team enables measurements with unprecedented resolution in real time

Photo sensor from smartphones helps with antimatter research at CERN

At CERN, scientists from the AEgIS collaboration led by a team of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have repurposed smartphone camera sensors to create a detector capable of tracking antiproton annihilations in real time with unprecedented resolution. This new device, described in a paper just published in Science Advances, can pinpoint antiproton annihilations with a resolution of about 0.6 micrometres, a 35-fold improvement over previous real-time methods.

75 percent of adults struggle with health information

Health literacy in Germany continues to decline

A majority of the people in Germany face problems regarding health-related information. This is the key finding from a representative study conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The results show a sharp decline in health literacy—down more than 20% since 2014. The drop is particularly noticeable among younger people. Interestingly, factors like education, income, or immigration history do not appear to influence the results.

Comprehensive method for the environmental assessment of business processes

Creating measures to determine whether companies are truly sustainable

Companies are increasingly making claims of sustainable production part of their public communications. However, the related ratings and seals of approval tend to focus primarily on CO₂ emissions and energy consumption – while ignoring other important aspects. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a comprehensive method for a holistic environmental analysis of business processes: Sustainability-Oriented Process Analysis (SOPA). This will enable companies to make targeted searches for shortcomings and take measures to conserve resources and reduce emissions.
