Many applications—be it in medicine, biotechnology, or agriculture—require the ability to eliminate unwanted cells, since these can compromise health, reduce productivity, or interfere with desired biological processes. However, doing so without affecting other cells remains a significant challenge.
Viele Anwendungen in Medizin, #Biotechnologie & Landwirtschaft erfordern die gezielte Abtötung unerwünschter Zellen. Forscher:innen @helmholtz-hiri.bsky.social entwickelten mit Kooperationspartnern ein CRISPR-basiertes Werkzeug, das Zellen gezielt beseitigt. www.helmholtz-hzi.de/media-center...

A collaboration of the #HIRI, Akribion Therapeutics, @utah.edu and @utahstate.bsky.social has now resulted in a CRISPR-based tool that can target specific cells based on a recognized transcript, opening up numerous potential uses. Read more: www.helmholtz-hiri.de/en/newsroom/...
Würzburg is known for its wineries and historic sights—but it is also a hub for cutting-edge research. 🍇🧬 In a new exhibition at the Falkenhaus tourist information, the City of Würzburg highlights its innovation spaces through architectural photographs, including one of our new #HIRI building. 🏗️
Ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look inside the lab of HIRI Director Jörg Vogel?🧫👀
In this video, Jörg Vogel talks about what drives his research, how his team explores the RNA world of microbes, and the potential of RNA-based approaches in infection research.
