Hohenheim Research and its Impact
A strong back starts with your motivation [31.10.2022]
A Tuebingen-led research team shows in a recent paper how a physical intervention, i.e., a app-based home exercise program led to a significant and clinically relevant reduction in pain intensity throughout the 12-week program.more
Histamine Intolerance - State of Knowledge and Enzymatic Intervention Points [24.10.2022]
So far, histamine intolerance cannot be treated with a specific medication. People who are affected can only prevent or reduce the symptoms occurring, sticking to a low-histamine diet (Reese et al. 2021). Diamine oxidase is expressed especially in the intestine, kidney and placenta and stored in vesicular structures for secretion (Schwelberger et al. 1998; McGrath et al....more
Controlling diabetes with the aid of medicinal herbs: a critical compilation of a decade of research [08.08.2022]
There is evidence from various studies that herbal concoctions can have positive effects on sugar metabolism and in this way support diabetes therapy. An Indian-German research team with the participation of a Hohenheim researcher summarizes the findings of a decade of research in a recent article.more
Hohenheim team uses machine learning to uncover the relation between age and life satisfaction [10.07.2022]
Life satisfaction depends on numerous variables, many of which are dependent on age. A recent study published in Nature uses a machine learning approach suggests that life satisfaction is underestimated among the young and overestimated among middle-aged individuals. Life satisfaction seems to follow a U-shaped curve across the lifespan, with a minimum around the age of 50,...more
Neonatal Microbiome Seeding - A Healthy Microbiome Despite Cesarean? [26.06.2022]
Babies delivered by Cesarean section miss contact with the maternal microbiome compared to infants born by vaginal delivery. Various studies suggest that delivery by C-section perturbs the early establishment and healthy development of the infant gut microbiome. According to a recent editorial by Hohenheim scientist Florian W. Fricke and his American colleague Jacques Ravel...more
SameStr - a highly sensitive and universal bioinformatics tool "Made in Hohenheim" for the identification of matching microbiome strains in metagenomic shotgun sequence datasets [12.06.2022]
The understanding of how microbiomes assemble, function, and evolve requires metagenomic tools that can resolve microbiota compositions at the strain level. However, the identification and tracking of microbial strains in fecal metagenomes is challenging and available tools variably classify subspecies lineages, which affects their applicability to infer microbial persistence...more
