TRANSVAC: a pillar of vaccine development in Europe for 16 years

The European vaccine development ecosystem has been strengthened over the last 16 years, thanks to the EVI-led TRANSVAC project, an ambitious initiative funded by the European Commission. Since its launch in 2009, TRANSVAC has established itself as a key player in advancing vaccine research, supporting over 160 vaccine projects while fostering innovation and collaboration in […]

Novel analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins

Novel analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins

Researchers from Mainz University and EMBL Hamburg present a new approach for structurally characterising disordered proteins by combining two different analysis methods. Proteins are the molecules that perform most ‘actions’ in the cell, and thus, are key for our body functions. Essentially, proteins are strings of amino acids, which, in most cases, fold like origami […]

Repeated polyp diagnoses in relatives indicate higher risk of colorectal cancer

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and at the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg have investigated the association between an individual’s risk of colorectal cancer and repeated diagnoses of colorectal polyp in relatives. They conclude that, in particular, the risk of developing colorectal cancer at a young age is significantly increased […]
