Mutational signatures help to understand the biology of cancer
Next generation DNA sequencing technologies have enabled the genome sequencing of an increasing number of tumour samples in recent years. A recently published UK study presents data on [...]
RNA in the cross-hairs: The exploration of an RNA modifying mechanism reveals the cause of genetic diseases and offers therapeutic applications for RNA editing
Like accents over letters can be quintessential to correctly interpret a text, the modifications of nucleic acid can have important roles in deciphering the genetic information. While the [...]
A viral protein showed the way to the soft spots of cell signaling protein networks
Researchers in the Biomolecular Interaction group at the Research Center for Natural Sciences investigate signaling enzymes involved in the regulation of cell’s life and death. In their recent [...]
RCNS researchers identify the neural basis of distractor interference resistance
Researchers of the Brain Imaging Centre (BIC), Research Centre for Natural Sciences (RCNS) identified the neural mechanisms responsible for the processing of task-irrelevant, distracting visual stimuli. By employing [...]
A state-of-the-art lab-grown “mini-brain” disease model becomes available at the Research Centre for Natural Sciences
Novel research by Cambridge scientists enable deeper understanding of the initial pathophysiological steps in neurodegenerative diseases and hints at possible novel treatments. By developing a novel human brain [...]
