For his research on the development of rare malignant tumors in the hereditary DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome, Dr. Felix Kommoss has been awarded the Rudolf Virchow Prize of the German Society of Pathology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pathologie, DGP) – the most prestigious research award in the field of pathology in Germany. Dr. Kommoss conducts research […]

Researchers from EMBL, LUMC, and collaborators reanalysed nearly 6,800 gut microbiome profiles, revealing a consistent microbial signature of colorectal cancer Summary Researchers have long suspected that the gut microbiome – the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in the intestine – is closely linked to colorectal cancer. In a new study published in Cell Host […]

Scientists have shown how the edges of biological tissues create geometric constraints that help cells position themselves in a magnet-like manner, giving rise to structure and order inside developing embryos Summary One of the most striking biological transitions in nature happens early in development, when an embryo transforms from a simple ball of cells into […]

EMBL Grenoble researchers have developed unique instruments automating sample preparation and quality control for cryo-electron microscopy Summary Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former Group Leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson for the development […]
