3 research infrastructures form new biomedical alliance EU-AMRI

BBMRI, EATRIS and ECRIN, the medical European research infrastructures, supported by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI), have joined forces by forming the European Alliance of Medical Research Infrastructures (EU-AMRI). EU-AMRI aims to facilitate the effective and efficient use of scientific services, expertise and tools by academia and industry for the seamless translation […]

New technology allows molecules to enter cells safely

Professor Braeckmans from Ghent University focused the last ten years on a method for safe engineering of therapeutic cells with photothermal nanofibers. The study published in Nature Nanotechnology gives insight in how these biocompatible photothermal nanofibers were developed, and how, upon laser irradiation, cells that come in contact with those nanofibers become permeabilized and can […]

AKIRIN2: two fingers pulling the proteasome into the nucleus

The scientists found that AKIRIN2 was consistently associated with the proteasome and not only required for the regulation of MYC, but of many more short-lived proteins. To their surprise, they found that AKIRIN2 only affected nuclear proteins, which accumulated freely in its absence. Thus, they hypothesised that AKIRIN2 might help the proteasome to enter the […]

How cells keep their nucleus clean: a fundamental discovery

Scientists at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna have developed a CRISPR-Cas9 screening assay that allows to systematically pinpoint regulators of any gene of interest, including cancer-related genes. Using this approach, they discovered how cells transport their clean-up machinery, the proteasome, into the nucleus to maintain protein balance and get rid of […]
