Cells are the basic unit of all living organisms and function on the basis of a large number of processes working in conjunction to detect and respond to diverse stimuli. The control of cellular response is very…
Inflammation is a process known from the beginning of medicine in ancient times. Inflammation can either be triggered by microbes, but can also be induced by tissue damage and harmful substances originating from…
Two researchers of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Technology (D09) participated in the discovery of the first porous metal-organic glass. As we have recently reported, glassy materials, consisting of metal…
Activity of genes is defined by proteins that bind to the DNA in their close proximity. Transcription Activator-Like Effector (TALE) proteins can be designed to bind almost any selected DNA sequence. Researchers at the…
A G-rich sequence has been found in the regulatory region of the RANKL gene, whose excessive activity leads to unbalanced bone remodeling and can influence the incidence of osteoporosis. Molecular mechanisms of…
Solid-state phase transformations enable many important technologies, including batteries, hydrogen storage, electrocatalysts and memristors. Researchers from 3 leading US research institutions (Stanford University,…
Propylene oxide (PO) is a key component for the production of propylene glycol, its ethers and polyether polyols. Most of PO currently in use is obtained through processes that produce a lot of waste (are not…
Glycoside hydrolases (GH) are widespread enzymes with different roles in nature from degradation of biomass, anti-bacterial defense, pathogenetic mechanisms to physiological cellular functions. From mechanistic point of…
Two researchers of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Technology (D09) participated in the discovery of a new type of glassy materials, consisting of metal centers and organic ligands. This is the fourth type of…
