Mechanism of DNA unwinding by MCM8-9 in complex with HROB
In a new study published in “Nature Communications” the Cejka laboratory and collaborators identified the molecular mechanisms by which the HROB protein enhances the DNA unwinding function of the MCM8-9 helicase, crucial for DNA repair and replication processes. Bellinzona, May 2, 2024 – The MCM8-9 helicase and the HROB proteins function together in DNA repair. […]

Transformer-based spatial-temporal detection of apoptotic cell death in live-cell imaging
Apoptotic cell death is a crucial mechanism that contributes to tissue homeostasis and prevents the onset of several diseases. However, this phenomenon is challenging to identify within microscopy movies that can encompass thousands of cells. Led by Santiago Gonzalez, the recent study carried at the IRB in Bellinzona introduces ADeS, an innovative approach based on […]
Bones & beyond: Uncovering the ossification and cytotoxic role of CD8 T cells in ankylosing spondylitis
A recent study, published in RMD Open, by Martini et al. has identified, in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), high cytotoxic CD8 T cells upregulating chemokine receptors along with genes promoting the ossification process, paving the way to new therapeutic targets for the treatment of AS. Bellinzona, April 15, 2024 – Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is […]
