Mechanobiology explores how physical forces affect cellular processes, providing insights into areas like embryogenesis and tumor growth. Cells exert forces onto their environment; the tissue in which they live.

Ecological communities are composed of a vast number of interacting species. Individuals of different species interact for feeding, survival or many other services, like protection or transport.

Malaria remains one of the world’s most persistent infectious diseases, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths every year and placing nearly half of the global population at risk. Although the disease is most common in sub-Saharan Africa,…

About 60 to 70% of soils in the EU are subject to severe degradation processes: erosion, pollution, loss of biodiversity, salinisation and sealing; this is the result of unsustainable land use and overexploitation of agrochemicals. Microbia…

The soaring demand for energy and use of fossil fuels has resulted in the release of vast amount of greenhouse gases and climate change. Developing photoelectrochemical devices for solar fuel production is one of the strategies to address t…

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, with millions of patients suffering from long-term complications after heart attacks. One of the major medical challenges is the limited ability of the heart to regenerate da…

A breakthrough in precision diagnostics and treatement for breast cancer Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment face persistent challenges, with current methods often lacking the precision and ease of use required for optimal patient care. E…

The scientific aim of the MSCA-DN BeyondTheEdge is to identify the role of nonpairwise ‘higher-order’ interactions in the emergence of complex dynamical behaviour of networks of interacting units. Traditionally, networks are equated with gr…

Sensory cells in marine invertebrates play a fundamental role in detecting environmental cues and translating them into biological responses that enable survival, feeding, reproduction, and interaction with the environment. These cells dete…

Micro- and macroalgae are fundamental components of aquatic ecosystems and will play an increasingly important role in our future. While many algae are beneficial, such as seaweeds used for food, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, ot…

NMR-IMPROV introduces an innovative approach to examining the properties of dairy products through advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation techniques, including Fast Field Cycling and Time-Domain NMR. This concept is based on t…

Rechargeable batteries are a key enabling technology for the transition toward sustainable energy systems and the widespread adoption of electric mobility. In particular, solid-state batteries based on lithium metal anodes and ceramic elect…

ENRICH is a Horizon Europe – MSCA Staff Exchanges project built around a practical need in protein analysis: post-translational modifications (PTMs) on histone proteins are biologically important, but they are often difficult to detect and…

Myelin is an essential biological structure that allows the nervous system to transmit information rapidly and efficiently. It is produced by specialised glial cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.

This MSCA project was entitled “A Palaeoenvironmental Investigation of Amazonian Lowland Sensitivity to Climatic Drivers Using Pollen-Based Modelling Approaches”, hereafter Project PALOMA (European Fellowship, Grant ID 101105420), and it wa…

The human immune system is our natural defense against infections and abnormal cells like cancer. It relies on a carefully balanced network of genes that produce receptors, signaling molecules, and transcription factors—all influenced by en…
