Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt share economics prize for work that underlines the importance of investing in research and development.
The editorial team of the prestigious journal Nature Communications has included our paper “Targeted volume imaging reveals early vascular interactions of Lyme disease pathogen in skin” among the Top 50 recently published articles in the field of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases . The selection was made by editor Hayleah Pickford as part of the...
Abstract Although the contours of the dissemination pathways of human pathogenic spirochetes in the vertebrate hosts are known, detailed high-resolution information on these processes remain lacking. In this study, we establish an efficient serial block-face scanning electron microscopy workflow incorporating semi-automatic AI-driven segmentation to investigate the architecture...
By Hana Polasek-Sedlackova Returning to Central Europe was appealing and challenging. Here, I reflect on my part in rebuilding a research career in Czechia and fostering a collaborative scientific community across the region. Polasek-Sedlackova H. 2025: Returning home: there and back again in Czechia. Nature...
Eugene V. Koonin - 21.10.2025, 8:40. B7 Zoologická posluchárna, Viničná 7 - 2. patro Source: www.natur.cuni.cz/udalosti The origin and evolution of protein folds is a major, long-standing problem in biology, as most fold diversity arose very early in life. Realistic simulation was previously impossible but is now feasible thanks...
Institute of Parasitology and Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics invite you to the seminar: Prof. Karin Musier-Forsyth (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The Ohio State University, USA) - “Role of multi-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complexes in translational fidelity in trypanosomes” For more information about the speaker, see: ...
Parasitic infection in cultured cells prompted mitochondria to consume more folate, leaving less of the essential nutrient for the microbe to grow.
Chagas disease, a potentially deadly condition caused by a parasite carried by insects called kissing bugs, should now be considered endemic in the United States, experts say – and without recognition that it’s a constant presence in some parts of the country, more people will suffer unnecessarily.
The new study “International Bibliometric Comparison of Research at the Czech Academy of Sciences” provides a unique bibliometric comparison of the scientific outcomes of basic research at the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) with comparable networks of non-university research organisations in Germany and France. The analysis examines scientific fields in terms of their staffing levels,...
