A presentation of the Skills Labs at the Karl Landsteiner Private University Krems proved to be very interesting.

Glioblastoma is a brain cancer with devastating prognosis. A new collaborative study by scientists from CeMM, MedUni Vienna, KL University and the Austrian Brain Tumor Registry network demonstrates how epigenetic analysis of tumor samples collected in routine clinical practice could be used to better classify and treat the disease. The KL researchers Dr. Melitta Kitzwögerer, Dr. Franz Marhold and Prim. Dr. Stefan Oberndorfer (all from the University Hospital St. Pölten) were also involved in the research work. The results were published in Nature Medicine.

Since the beginning of this week, KL has been the location for filming. Jessica Hausner shoots her new film in international co-production with Great Britain and Germany at the KL premises.

In order for organ models to be suitable as training objects for surgeons, their mechanical properties must also match the biological model as closely as possible.

The latest national and international media reports on dubious practices of some scientific publishers ("predatory publishing") give the impression that there is also a serious problem for Austria as a research location. However, this is not the case. All available data show that only a very small number of scientists in Austria, who are in the per mille range, are affected by such practices. In addition, the local and international scientific community addressed the phenomenon at an early stage and developed binding standards.

Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems launches project to study the growth of water-based microorganisms

In order to better understand and assess the quality of ground and spring water, state-of-the-art methods from the fields of molecular biology and microbiology, as well as chemical high-performance analytics are now developed. This has been made possible by a project currently underway at the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL). The aim of the project is to combine new technologies across a number of disciplines to evaluate the growth of water-based bacteria and their biochemical processes. This will make it possible to determine and predict the biostability of water with much more accuracy than before, thus making a fundamental contribution to water hygiene and health. The project, which is funded by the federal state of Lower Austria, is based on internationally recognised research conducted at the Interuniversity Cooperation Center Water & Health (ICC Water & Health) and at the Department of Agrobiotechnology, IFA-Tulln, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna, which enable bacteria and their activities in water samples to be precisely characterised.

Nausea, spinning sensation, tinnitus and hearing loss - the so-called Ménière's disease can really throw you off course. Cause is a short-term change in hydrostatic pressure in the inner ear.
