The construction plan of the nucleolus, our cell’s protein factory
In a study published in Nature , biologists from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Princeton and Rockefeller University reveal the molecular instructions that enable the cell to construct the nucleolus, the organelle essential for protein production. Better still, they have succeeded in manipulating this blueprint to produce, on demand, artificial nucleoli with modulated properties.
Researcher Eric Kerckhofs Investigates Whether We Truly Have Free Will
Amid the complexity of our decision-making, an opening remains for genuine human agency. Does something like 'free will' really exist? We often take it for granted, but philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists have debated the issue for decades - if not centuries.
Climate and conservation: Sea turtles head straight for danger
A study published in Science Advances reveals that sea turtles are fleeing the tropics, driven by climate change. They are heading dangerously towards the world's shipping lanes, with serious consequences for their conservation. An alarming study by Denis Fournier and Edouard Duquesne of the Université Libre de Bruxelles
