Decaying matter shapes life in soil, but it can also create hostile zones for growing roots. Professor and ERC grantee Jiří Friml of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international collaborators have now identified …

The work, co-led by CIC bioGUNE and IBBTEC and published in Nature Communications, identifies ASPA as a key regulator of the tumour microenvironment, providing new insights that may inform future approaches to cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Protein analysis of 20 individuals from South Africa's Rising Star cave raises new questions about the species' biology and behaviour.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and University College London (UCL), funded by Cancer Research UK and the European Research Council (ERC), have identified a 14-protein signature in blood that is associated with an increased risk of…

Researchers from VIB, KU Leuven, the UK-DRI and Muna Therapeutics, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) have identified a biological transition that may help explain why some individuals with Alzheimer's disease develop dementia while…

Ghent, 8 May 2025 – When an asteroid as big as Mount Everest struck Earth 66 million years ago, it wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs and roughly a third of life on the planet. But many plants survived the devastation. In a new study in Cell,…

At the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), researchers resemble blacksmiths as they work with bacteria. When placed in water, E. coli help form gel-like aggregates and, as now demonstrated by the Materiali Molli Lab, can rotate tiny…

Today, scientists at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) have transported a device containing antiprotons by truck across the laboratory’s main site, showing a new way to handle these particles. Researchers will use this capability…
