Zekollari, H. (author), Huss, M. (author), Farinotti, D. (author), Lhermitte, S.L.M. (author)Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower-lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed present-day sea-level rise. Glaciers can also act as a source of natural hazards and have a major touristic value. Given their societal importance, there is large...review 2022

Bauer, M.S. (author)How does an organism regulate its genes? The involved regulation typically occurs in terms of a signal processing chain: an externally applied stimulus or a maternally supplied transcription factor leads to the expression of some downstream genes, which, in turn, are transcription factors for further genes. Especially during development, these...review 2022
