Thanks to cryoelectronic microscopy, a research group led by scholars from the University of Bologna has identified a new aspect of the working mechanism of this very widespread enzyme, paving the way for the development of new drugs
By analysing the cases of more than 1,700 patients who experienced an NSTEMI myocardial infarction, a research team led by scientists from the University of Bologna has identified a new threshold value for troponin, a protein found in heart muscle cells, which could allow doctors to adopt more targeted strategies to reduce post-angioplasty complications
The research group led by Professor Elisabetta Ciani from the Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences will investigate whether the recombinant CDKL5 protein, secreted in vivo by lactic acid bacteria, can restore brain development impaired by its deficiency
A research team from the University of Bologna has developed a system that uses a specific bacteriophage — a virus that infects bacteria but is harmless to humans — as a template to synthesise new photosensitive nanoparticles able to target and destroy cancer cells and tissues
The University of Bologna is contributing to the Strengthening BBMRI.it project by establishing the “UNIBO Microbiome Biobank and training specialists to improve the collection of biological resources and advance the treatment of multifactorial diseases
The University of Bologna joins the European research project Orchestra, achieving critical breakthroughs in understanding and addressing the long-term effects of coronavirus
Paediatric neuroblastoma is the leading cause of death among children with cancer. An international research team has discovered the gene that initiates the disease, also identifying a potential therapeutic target
Developed by researchers from the University of Bologna and Dartmouth College, this consists of an innovative template of the cortical surface, developed based on the anatomy of 1031 human brains, which makes it possible to conduct studies in functional magnetic resonance imaging with less data and a higher level of replicability and reproducibility
For the first time, an international group of scholars shed light on how our brain manages to extract musical meanings from a string of sounds, and what happens when variations are introduced in a known pattern
