Researchers at the CRG prove that chromatin originated in ancient microbes
In almost every human cell, two meters of DNA must fit into a nucleus that is only a few millionths of a meter in size. Like wool in a skein, this extreme challenge of space requires the DNA to wrap itself around proteins called histones. This spiral genetic...
Spanish and British researchers prove the role of the male germ in the structural evolution of the genome
Analysis of the genomes of different mammals has shown that, although they all have a similar catalogue of genes, they may be ordered differently and turned on and off differently. These chromosomal rearrangements influence gene function and regulation and contribute...
Researchers from the Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIC-UPV) develop a new system to produce hydrogen

Subsidies for encouraging translation into foreign languages
The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport has opened the invitation to apply for subsidies to finance the cost of translating literary (both classical and contemporary), or scientific works into foreign languages. These works must either have been published by Spanish...
Spanish and British scientists discover what prevents the immune system from working normally
Scientists have long wondered what causes immune disorders in only one of two identical twins since their genes are the same. Now, a new study by the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute (Barcelona), the Wellcome Sanger Institute (United Kingdom), and other...
European Research Council selects for funding 46 Spanish research projects
The European Research Council (ERC) is the first pan-European funding body for frontier research. The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research...
Researchers from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (CSIC-University of Valencia) measure for the first time the mass of one of the basic constituents of matter with the help of the Higgs boson
The standard model of particle physics, the theory that best describes the visible matter in the universe, predicts that many of the properties of particles have different values depending on the energy at which they are observed. This also occurs with the mass of...
Spanish and German researchers devise a new strategy to introduce substances into the cell
An international team including researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela has described a mechanism to bring bioactive agents into the cell using boron compounds that are capable of disordering water molecules and dehydrating the load they carry. In...

An international team, including Óscar Herreras from the Cajal Institute (CSIC), claims that electrical waves are responsible for cellular death after ictus.
The study shows that neural cells do not die due to chemical toxicity as thought but because of lethal electrical waves. This discovery will help treat strokes more efficiently. After the interruption of the blood supply to the brain, the first that leads to the death...
Spanish researcher Juan Carlos Izpisúa finds out that cellular reprogramming can safely alter age-associated molecular changes during physiological ageing
Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte (Salk Institute) leads the international research team that has proven that antiaging therapy involves no risk and extends the life span of a premature ageing mouse model. Ageing involves some non-desired side effects, such as a higher...
