Scientific excellence, the thematic focus on global commons and the policy advice through assessment processes have paid off: The Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) will be financed up to and including 2024 with a further €12.15 million. Stiftung Mercator (foundation) decided to continue to fund the institute from 2019, with around €2 million per year. The MCC was jointly founded in 2012 by Stiftung Mercator and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

Autophagy as a new target for drugs
"So far, the development of new drugs has focused on preventing cell death mechanisms and on breaking down the protein aggregates in the affected nerve cells," Professor Michael Sendtner explains; he is the head of the Institute of Clinical Neurobiology of the Würzburg university hospital.
But now Sendtner with his colleague Patrick Lüningschrör and their team have identified another potential target for future drugs: It is the complex process of autophagy, as the researchers report in the journal Nature …

“A way to someone’s heart is through their stomach” is a popular saying. But it is not only in humans that romance and a good dinner seem to go together well. In the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology have now even identified the respective underlying neuronal mechanism in the fly’s brain. If vinegar is nearby, male flies are perceived as more attractive and the receptivity of virgin females towards courting males is increased.
