In the hunt for new therapeutics for cancer and infectious diseases, lasso peptides prove to be a catch. Their knot-like structures afford these molecules high stability and diverse biological activities, making them a promising avenue […]
A study in Management Science finds that public charities with corporate directors on their boards are significantly more likely to lobby on behalf of the connected firms’ political interests. More to the point, the research […]
Technological development is key to improving the way hematologic cancer is diagnosed and treated. With this vision, the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute is committed to the creation and implementation of new systems that push […]
Plants adapt the growth of their roots and shoots differently in response to environmental changes, according to a study involving the Ecological-Botanical Garden (ÖBG) at the University of Bayreuth. The researchers challenge previous assessments of […]
