Evolution in real time

ISTA scientists predict—and witness—evolution in a 30-year marine snail experiment. It is 1988. The Koster archipelago, a group of islands off the Swedish west coast near the border with Norway,…

Let there be light: Bright future for solar panels, TV screens and more

From brighter TV screens to better medical diagnostics and more efficient solar panels, new Curtin-led research has discovered how to make more molecules stick to the surface of tiny nanocrystals,…

Oxidative stress: how protein recycling protects against cell death

Researchers at LMU University Hospital have discovered a new molecular switch that protects against cell death. Programmed cell death protects the body against cancer and other diseases. A team of…

Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria

The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body’s natural defence against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how…

Supercomplex links mRNA translation and decay

Messenger RNA, or mRNA for short, serves as a blueprint for proteins. When mRNA is no longer needed, it has to be degraded. Director Elena Conti and her team at…

One experiment: The brain’s landscapers

Imagine yourself sometime in the far future aboard a routine rocket to Mars. Someone just spilled their drink. Without gravity, it collects in floating blobs that ripple right before your…
