Multilingual service encounters in corona times: communication needs and practices in public service provision contexts
As a result of the corona situation, several initiatives have been set up worldwide at different levels (e.g.

Mycorrhizas for sustainable agriculture and forestry
Roughly a third of the earth’s land is degraded. Human activities including industry and overcultivation resulted in marginal soils. These soils are unbalanced in nutrients and often polluted with heavy metals.

Nanobody-based molecular tracers
Nanobodies, antibody-binding fragments derived from camelid heavy-chain antibodies, show great promise as targeting moieties in molecular imaging applications because of unique properties.

Narrating Europe on Page, Stage and Screen
In the artistic imagination, Europe often provides a transcultural alternative to national or ethnic narratives. At the same time, references to Europe have also often informed narratives of exclusion (and continue to do so).

New strategic concepts for lightweight cobot arms
Collaborative robots or “cobots” are robots designed to operate in direct physical contact with a human operator. What sets cobots apart from traditional industrial robots is that safety is prioritized to protect humans from harm resulting from impacts, pinching or crushing.

Non-destructive mechanistic study of buried interfaces between organic coatings and engineering metals
In a wide variety of applications, metals are covered with an organic coating in order to increase corrosion resistance or to add surface functional properties. The efficiency and durability of coated metals is largely determined by the phenomena occurring at the organic-inorganic interface.

Optimalisation of a biphasic oocyte in vitro maturation system: testing of hypotheses in the mouse model and translation to human
In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) derived from small antral follicles can be offered as a “patient-friendly” treatment alternative for conventional ovarian stimulation (OS) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients.

Pancreatic cancer: ontogeny, molecular subtyping and drug repurposing
Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis with an overall survival rate of less than 10%, and with few improvements in the last 50 years, partly due to a lack of in-depth knowledge of pancreas (cancer) biology.
