The ERC Advanced Grants are intended to support established and excellent principal investigators in pursuing groundbreaking and high-risk projects. On June 17, the ERC announced the 281 recipients of the 2025 ERC Advanced…
Our body keeps bacterial pathogens under control by restricting their access to essential nutrients such as iron. Iron is crucial for all living organisms. When bacteria are deprived of iron, they stop growing and…
G protein-coupled receptors are embedded in the cell membrane and transmit signals from the outside to the inside of the cell. Because of their vast diversity and crucial role in the body, GPCRs are targeted by many drugs,…
Walking, breathing, or writing – these movements would not be possible without our muscles. The instructions are given by the nerves that communicate with the muscles through neuromuscular junctions. Damage to or loss of…
Genes provide the blueprint for life, determining when and where proteins are made. This process involves two key steps: transcription, from DNA to messenger mRNA (mRNA), and translation, where mRNA is decoded into proteins.…
In the past years, AlphaFold has revolutionised protein science. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool was trained on protein data collected by life scientists for over 50 years, and is able to predict the 3D shape of…
