The implant, which is 3D printed, is additionally designed to continuously and locally release an active substance to accelerate healing.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/SpongeScapes-will-help-combat-climate-change2023-11-07T13:46:00+01:00An international project with participation from Leibniz University addresses the topic of "sponge landscapes".Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/MHH-launches-teaching-module-for-post-amputation-rehabilitation2023-11-02T13:08:45+01:00RehAmpTT, a teaching module developed by Hannover Medical School, is a digital support programme for healthcare professionals, amputees and their families, available in Ukrainian and German.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Can-oyster-reefs-withstand-rising-sea-levels2023-10-17T10:56:14+02:00A collaborative project involving Leibniz University has looked at whether oyster reefs and mussel beds on the German coast can adapt to rising sea levels caused by climate change.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Using-artificial-intelligence-to-recognize-pain-in-cats2023-08-24T14:13:00+02:00Artificial intelligence (AI) provides great opportunities to improve recognition of pain in cats, thus allowing for more humane treatment. A joint research team – from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) and the Department of Information Systems at the University of Haifa in Israel – is convinced of this.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Scent-detection-dogs-helping-sniff-out-the-causes-of-long-COVID2023-07-04T13:54:35+02:00Trained sniffer dogs are able to detect post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) by scent. In their ‘Dogolomics’ project, a team of researchers in human and veterinary medicine is seeking to track down the causes of long COVID by finding out which substances the dogs can smell. They thus aim to pave the way for improved detection of this difficult-to-diagnose condition.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Leibniz-University-to-be-part-of-a-wider-‘European-University’2023-07-04T10:26:21+02:00Leibniz University (LUH) is to receive 1.6 million euros from the European Union.

However, they are among the most populated areas in the world. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) have now created both an age-depth model and a moisture distribution for the last 500,000 years from one of the oldest lakes in central Mexico, Lake Chalco. The results are clear: Central Mexico experienced recurrent dry periods related to the Earth's natural wobble.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Successful-debut-launch-of-the-Einstein-Elevator2019-11-26T12:45:30+01:00Scientists from HITec at Leibniz Universität Hannover realize conditions for space research here on Earth, opening new possibilities for researchers across the globe.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Researchers-aim-to-use-gene-therapy-to-treat-hearing-deafness2019-03-25T16:17:37+01:00Professor Schambach was awarded approximately two million euros from the European Union for his “iHEAR” project.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Stranded-sperm-whales-in-2016-belonged-to-two-different-groups2018-07-19T15:14:14+02:00Pollutants and genetic analysis reveal origin and group affiliation.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Sustainable-Exploitation-of-Environmental-Resources2018-07-17T10:38:04+02:00EU project ESMERALDA aims at implementing the biodiversity strategy.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/International-networking-between-European-Cities-of-Science2018-07-06T12:13:04+02:00The City of Hannover joins the European Science Engagement Association (EUSEA).Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Shipping-disturbs-harbour-porpoises-foraging2018-02-16T15:55:33+01:00International research team investigated the behaviour of porpoises.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Gene-therapy-for-rare-blood-condition2017-12-18T13:28:50+01:00MHH researchers develop cell and gene therapy that affords better protection against disease pathogens.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Meeting,-exchanging-and-supporting2017-11-21T09:32:46+01:00Studentenwerk Hannover celebrates 20 years of Tutoring Programme.Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Meeting,-exchanging-and-supporting/Meeting,-exchanging-and-supporting2017-11-21T09:32:46+01:00Studentenwerk Hannover celebrates 20 years of Tutoring Programme.
