This year‘s FuMo took place in the mountains! 🏔️ Together with @ivanafleischer.bsky.social, @teichertlab.bsky.social, @breugstlab.bsky.social & @kretschmerlab.bsky.social we spent four days in Obergurgl, full of interesting scientific talks, inspiring discussions and enjoying the Tyrolian nature.

Triacylglycerols affect the water content and cohesive strength of collagen fibrils

The function of lipids in collagen fibrils is not well understood. The types and amounts of lipids present in collagen fibrils are particularly unknown. Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are a major class of li...

Proud to share a true science story. We got inspired by our friends from the Dielmann lab in Innsbruck and joining the pieces together in a new NHC ligand has opened up copper hydride chemistry at low H2 pressure 🎈 for the first time. And new reactivity on top:
