Carlos Moreno Yruela, who is currently a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, was selected in the ERC Starting Grants call to develop the CHEMTUBIO project at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). The project will study the chemistry of enzymes that erase microtubule modifications. These enzymes are essential for the functioning of our cells and have shown great promise as potential therapeutic targets for treating cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders.

A research team presents the transcriptomic analysis of pearl millet, a highly resilient cereal, revealing how this crop adapts to high temperature, drought, and salt stress.

A research team identified nearly 7,000 phosphorylation sites in close to 2,800 proteins and revealed distinct regulatory patterns tied to growth or dormancy.
