Drug cab for insulin

Up to three percent of people with diabetes have an allergic reaction to insulin. A team at Forschungszentrum Jülich has now investigated a method that could be used to deliver the active ingredient into the body in a masked form – in the form of tiny nanoparticles. The insulin is only released in… [read more]

Mystery of the failed measuring point solved

Green Councilor Daniela Rieth brought a few questions to ask when she visited FRM II in March. One was about a measuring station in Garching that records the local dose rate and had been out of action for several months. The mystery surrounding this probe has now been solved: it is operated by the… [read more]
