New drug can extend survival in gastric cancer

Current findings from a Jena-Zurich research project form an important basis for the creation of artificial symbioses with specific properties that could be used for biotechnological applications in the future.

Blocking the enzyme ACMSD can significantly reduce damage caused by metabolic liver disease according to a study from EPFL.

The healthcare sector is heading toward a global shortage of 10 million workers. Research from Tilburg University shows how HR departments can creatively contribute to the battle for healthcare staff, and why they need to go beyond traditional methods. 'Many healthcare organizations are still looking for candidates who meet all the requirements.'

Climate change not main driver of shift in distribution of European forest plants. The movement of plant species across Europe has mainly been attributed to climate change.

Universitat de València full-time university professor Rubén Artero is leading a research that has identified a promising therapy for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), based on anti-miRs. The study is being carried out by the Human Translational Genomics Group of the INCLIVA-Universitat de València Health Research Institute (Biotecmed). Myotonic dystrophy is a complex genetic disorder caused by an abnormally high number of CTG repeats (a specific type of DNA sequence) in the DMPK gene.

The safe storage of hydrogen continues to pose a technical and scientific challenge. A research team at the Chair of Chemistry of Plastics at the University of Leoben has developed an innovative method for the chemical storage of hydrogen, which could be used in the future, particularly in the field of mobility and in decentralized hydrogen supply.

Researchers have used the chemical fingerprints of zinc contained in meteorites to determine the origin of volatile elements on Earth.

Joint discovery by an Armenian-German team in the ancient city of Artaxata. Archaeologists from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and the University of Münster have discovered the remains of a previously unknown early Christian church in the ancient city of Artaxata.

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 the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now. Researchers from Delft University of Technology have now unravelled how this protein operates. This new knowledge, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology

A new study published in Nature Geoscience by an international team of scientists provides new insights into the natural mechanisms behind century-scale increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), known as CO₂ jumps.
