Should I run, or should I not? The neural basis of aggression and flight
Researchers in the Gross group at EMBL Rome have investigated the mechanism behind defensive behaviour in mice. They have identified a specific area…
Open data sharing accelerates COVID-19 research
Open access data benefits millions of scientists around the world and is essential for a rapid response to the COVID-19…
Repurposing drugs for a pan-coronavirus treatment
Scientists from the Beltrao Group at EMBL-EBI and collaborators identified drug targets common to SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV, three…
Seeing evolution happening before your eyes
Researchers from EMBL Heidelberg have established an automated pipeline to create mutations in genomic enhancers, letting them watch evolution unfold…
How deadly parasites ‘glide’ into human cells
A group of scientists led by EMBL Hamburg’s Christian Löw provide insights into the molecular structure of proteins involved in the gliding…
Powerful genome editing tool recognised by Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The genome editing tool CRISPR–Cas9 – which plays a critical role in EMBL’s research – was recognised by the Nobel Prize in…
Deep learning captures cell cycle
Members of an EMBL-led research group with collaborators in Estonia and Russia have built and trained a deep learning model to better understand how…
Human and mouse cells run at different speeds
The internal clock that governs the development of embryos ticks slower for humans than for mice. Differences in the speed of biochemical reactions…
Fighting cardiovascular disease with acne drug
Researchers have found the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy – a leading cause of heart failure – and identified a potential treatment for it: a…
Genome sequencing accelerates cancer detection
The Gerstung Group at EMBL-EBI and collaborators have developed a statistical model that analyses genomic data to predict whether a patient has a…
Nuclear pores in their natural context
Scientists from the Beck group have studied the 3D structure of nuclear pores in budding yeast. They show how the architecture of the nuclear pore…
How to remove unwanted components from the cell nucleus
Researchers have uncovered how cells remove unwanted components from the nucleus following…
