Software verification researcher ranks among the world's top young innovators
Computer scientist Andrey Rybalchenko is one of the world's top 35 innovators under 35 years of age, according to MIT's Technology Review. The prestigious "TR35" list for 2010 is published in the September/October issue of the magazine. The honor goes to Rybalchenko, a professor at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), for his work on software verification. From theoretical breakthroughs to practical development tools, the contributions of this 32-year-old have the potential to make the software that 21st-century civilization runs on more reliable.
MoreStress protein Hsp12 provides a cellular survival mechanism never seen before
Despite clear evidence that Hsp12 -- a so-called heat shock or stress protein -- helps cells survive life-threatening conditions, how it works was an open question until now. The surprising answer is revealed in the Aug. 27 issue of Molecular Cell, where German researchers explain how they discovered the function of Hsp12, a protective mechanism unlike any previously observed. Unfolded within the cell's aqueous cytosol, Hsp12 folds into helical structures to stabilize the cell membrane.
MoreTUM researchers demonstrate rocking movement in the anti-stress protein Hsp90
The protein Hsp90 plays a significant role in the survival of cells that are exposed to stress. Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) uncovered this protein’s mode of operation some time ago – but now Hsp90 has surprised even the experts with an unexpected pattern of motion. The results are published in the current online issue of the renowned science journal PNAS and may help researchers discover specific cancer medication.
