Homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies of the Planck era before the classical Einstein equations become valid are studied taking quantum gravitational effects into account. The cosmological evolution equations are renormalization group improved by including the scale dependence of Newton's constant and of the cosmological constant as it is given by the flow equation of the effective average action for gravity. It is argued that the Planck regime can be treated reliably in this framework because gravity is found to become asymptotically free at short distances. The epoch immediately after the initial singularity of the Universe is described by an attractor solution of the improved equations which is a direct manifestation of an ultraviolet attractive renormalization group fixed point. It is shown that quantum gravity effects in the very early Universe might provide a resolution to the horizon and flatness problem of standard cosmology, and could generate a scale-free spectrum of primordial density fluctuations.

Starobinsky-inflation in asymptotically safe shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theory
Starobinsky inflation rules out two of three non-Gaussian fixed points in asymptotically safe scalar-tensor theories, identifying viable RG trajectories from the remaining fixed point.

Distinguishing scale-dependent Planck stars from renormalization group improved Schwarzschild black holes by Gravitational waves
Gravitational-wave strains from analytic-kludge EMRI models can distinguish scale-dependent Planck stars from renormalization-group improved Schwarzschild black holes, at least for the chosen orbit parameters.

Running Vacuum in the expanding Universe: a unified QFT paradigm for Inflation and Dark Energy
The running vacuum model derives dynamical vacuum energy from QFT in curved spacetime, using H^4 terms for inflation and H^2 terms for dark energy while G evolves logarithmically.

The inflationary mechanism in Asymptotically Safe Gravity
Departure from the asymptotically safe gravity fixed point generates a plateau inflaton potential with a nearly scale-invariant spectrum, and the Starobinsky model is recovered for critical exponents θ1=θ2=2.
