    Blood vessel deformities start in vein cells

    In the condition called cavernoma, lesions appear in a cluster of blood vessels in the brain, spinal cord or retina. Researchers from Uppsala University can now reveal, at molecular level, these changes originate in vein cells. This new understanding of the condition creates possibility of developing better treatments for patients. The study was published in

    IGC analysts get three out of six European Research Council grants

    Since the establishment of the European Research Council in 2008, the IGC has secured 17 of the competitive grants (7 Beginning, 8 Consolidator and two Advanced). In 2021, with the beginning of the new grants awarded this month, it will have ten active grants. The year of 2020 marks a total of 327 researchers chosen

    Study shows the effect of ‘reverse antibiotic’ on gram-negative bacteria

    Researchers from Skoltech and MSU have investigated antibiotic nybomycin that could prove effective against bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. Their research was published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. All bacterial cells contain topoisomerases, a significant group of enzymes that help deal with spatial problems stemming from bacterial cell division related to circular DNA
