The speed of life: a zoo of cells to study developmental time
Researchers from the Ebisuya Group at EMBL Barcelona have used an unprecedented stem cell zoo to compare six different mammalian species and their developmental time. In humans, pregnancy lasts around […]
The ‘long read’ for cancer
Looking to learn more from genomics sequencing about DNA mutations and cancer, researchers applied a long-read approach to get a broader genomic view Just as a flashlight casts a broader […]
EMBL Research News: International study proposes stool analysis for early detection of pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers due to its early local extension and metastatic behaviour. Some of the reasons for this high fatality rate are late diagnosis […]
EMBL-Research: The impact of drugs on gut microbes is greater than we thought
We are one of the most medicated generations of humans to live on our planet. Cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and coronary artery disease continue to increase in […]
Structural biology reveals new opportunities to combat tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide, infecting about one-quarter of the world’s population. Although it is treatable, the rise of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis poses a major […]
Wissenschaftler identifizieren synthetische Mini-Antikörper zur Bekämpfung von COVID-19
Lama-Mini-Antikörper und ihre synthetischen Imitationen Die Fähigkeit von SARS-CoV-2, Zellen zu infizieren, hängt von den Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem viralen Spike-Protein und dem menschlichen Zelloberflächenprotein ACE2 ab. Damit sich das Virus […]
Scientists identify synthetic mini-antibody to combat COVID-19
Llama mini-antibodies and their synthetic imitations The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells depends on interactions between the viral spike protein and the human cell surface protein ACE2. To enable […]
Fighting cardiovascular disease with acne drug
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and Stanford University have found the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy – a leading cause of heart failure – and identified a […]
How to remove unwanted components from the cell nucleus
An international team of scientists has uncovered how cells remove unwanted components from the nucleus following mitosis. The results, published in the journal Nature, stem from a fruitful collaboration between […]
