Sensitization to major food allergens changes during the first five years of life, as shown by a large birth-cohort study involving Karl Landsteiner University. Krems (Austria), 14. October 2026 – Sensitization to food allergens can change considerably during the first five years of a child’s life. A large Canadian birth-cohort study shows that sensitization to peanut often develops early and persists, while sensitization to several tree nuts tends to appear later. Some children also lose sensitization to allergen components associated […]

New 3DAR technology brings full three-dimensional voxel control to 2PP printing – combining optical-grade surface quality with high printing speeds Vienna, Austria, 06 October 2026 – Grayscale lithography has long enabled the fabrication of microstructures with continuously varying surface topographies in high surface quality. Now, UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria) takes this principle into the third dimension. Its newly developed 3D Adaptive Resolution (3DAR) technology enables dynamic control of the printing voxel (volumetric pixel) in all three spatial dimensions during 2-photon […]

A study by Karl Landsteiner University reveals differences between women and men following transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Sex-specific risk assessment is recommended. Krems (Austria), 22. September 2026 – Following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), disturbances in the heart’s electrical conduction system can make a pacemaker necessary. A recent study now shows that the significance of a pacemaker for subsequent prognosis differs between women and men. Physicians at Karl Landsteiner University (klu Krems) analysed short- and long-term survival data from more […]

A new approach makes digital support more personalised for family caregivers Krems, Austria, 19. August 2026 – More and more people are caring for family members, and an increasing number are turning to digital services for support. Yet effective counselling is about far more than providing accurate information. It depends on empathy, guidance and making people feel genuinely heard. Researchers at Karl Landsteiner University (KL Krems) have explored how these human qualities can be preserved and actively strengthened in digital […]

Study led by Karl Landsteiner University inks cognitive difficulties to compulsive gaming rather than gaming time itself Krems, Austria, 7. July 2026 – The amount of time young people spend playing video games is not enough to judge whether gaming is linked to cognitive difficulties. A new study of several thousand adolescents shows that gaming time and symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder are associated with cognitive performance in opposite ways. While dysregulated gaming – marked by loss of control, craving […]
