What are mini brains?

Published on 17 January, 2018

Shielded by our thick skulls and swaddled in layers of protective tissue, the human brain is extremely difficult to observe in action. Luckily, scientists can use brain organoids – pencil-eraser-sized masses of cells that function like human brains but aren’t part of an organism – to look closer. Madeline Lancaster, from the LMB’s Cell Biology […]

Alcohol can cause irreversible genetic damage to stem cells, says study

Published on 5 January, 2018

Link between drinking and cancer clarified by study – led by KJ Patel’s group in the LMB’s PNAC Division – which indicates alcohol causes cancer by scrambling DNA in cells, eventually leading to mutations. More…

Scientists establish a comprehensive protein interactions map of the replication machinery of a chronic virus

Published on 21 December, 2017

Chronic viral infections are amongst the biggest threats to human health worldwide. Leo James’ group from the LMB’s PNAC Division, in collaboration with scientists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and University of Basel, have established the first comprehensive overview of cellular proteins interacting with the LCMV polymerase. It is hoped that the research leads […]
