A multi-platform mixed-methods approach to news exposure on social media – FeedingBias
FeedingBias aims to provide data and analytical tools for a better understanding of incidental exposure to news on social media and the engagement of individuals with news. Our objective is a) to unde
A multiscale study of stress-induced changes in nucleoid architecture and plasticity – NUC-STRESS
An organism’s capacity to survive depends, at least in part, on its ability to sense and respond to sudden changes in its environment. This is particularly true for bacteria, that have devised a wide
A new framework for understanding the Dynamic Rhythms and Decoding of Speech – DRhyaDS
When listening to speech sounds, for example during a conversation, our brain first tries to isolate the attended speech from other sound sources, and to track its dynamics. This is not an easy task,
A new generation of interacting resonators: non-Hermitian and time modulated coupling – WHEEL
Coupled resonances across many areas of science, e.g. physics and chemistry, serve as defining pillars of their fields. In recent years, fundamental studies and applications have experienced a large e
A new pathway for reducing liver lipotoxicity bridging non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes – DETOXING
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasing chronic liver pathology affecting around 25% of the general population in Western countries. NAFLD is a continuum of pathological states rangi
A novel 4D ex vivo human lymphoma model to assess CAR T and NK cell efficacy – 4D-CARLY
Adoptive transfer of T and natural killer (NK) cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has shown remarkable clinical efficacy against advanced B cell malignancies. However, many patients do
A novel druggable pathway of chronic kidney disease – STOP-CKD
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a major socioeconomic worldwide public health burden, is characterized by a progressive decline in renal function to end stage renal disease that can occur irrespective o
A novel posttranslational control mechanism for EXOSC10/Rrp6 – EXOPROT
The conserved 3’-5’ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 (Rrp6 in yeast) is essential for early embryogenesis, development of the forebrain and red blood cells, gametogenesis and cancer cell division. Among the pr
A pharmacological therapy for HNF1B-deficiency – DrugHNF1B
HNF1B is a transcription factor whose mutations represent the most common genetic cause for “Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and the Urogenital Tract” (CAKUT). In addition, mutations in HNF1B
A portable SPRi device with high spatial resolution for the detection of pathogens – eSPRi
One of the lessons taught by the Covid-19 pandemic is the need for rapid, portable and low-cost systems for the detection of pathogen to stop their spreading. Currently, the existing methods are not s
