Utrecht scientists uncovered the molecular machinery inside the chloroplasts of plants.

With his appointment, the Faculty of Science wants to build bridges between the departments of Biology and Physics.

Scientists from Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� have succeeded in applying advanced microscopy to visualise the activity of the widely used anti-cancer drug Taxol.

Theoretical biologists have solved a unique puzzle in the structure of plants’ vascular tissue. They can now explain how two different mutations with opposite effects lead to the same result.

Researchers have elucidated the molecular mechanism of the fungus that turns ants into living zombies.

In 50 years the field of bioinformatics has become more and more relevant. Researchers from Utrecht tell about the origin and the future of bioinformatics.

NWO Domain Science has awarded applications in the Open Competition XS to Razvan Cioc (Chemistry) and Suzan Ruijtenberg (Biology).

A fungus responsible for crop losses appears to evade the plant’s immune system by targeting its microbiome. This discovery may lead to new approaches to curtail the fungus and protect crops.

PhD research sheds light on how complex cells like those of plants, fungi and animals once evolved from simple, bacteria-like cells.

Researchers developed a new method to distinguish generalist and specialist microbes and applied it to a large, global dataset.

A new study is the first to explicitly address the gut microbiome as a pathway to understanding how environmental inequities could lead to health disparities.

Utrecht-based scientists investigated the role of a harmful protein that causes hyperactivity in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Strange bubbles in the intestine of C. elegans may lead to greater understanding of human diseases, such as skin disorders, cataracts and ALS.

Microbiologists from Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� have identified the bacteria that can biologically clean up the groundwater in the Griftpark in Utrecht.

The way plant roots grow turns out to be surprisingly well described by a new computer model. The model could help to cultivate crops that require less fertilisation, pesticides, and watering.

Mike Boxem is internationally well known for his work in developing CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering techniques for the animal model C. elegans.

Future Food Utrecht is co-applicant of the prestigious European grant application FoodNexus.

Cell-publicatie: De aanmaak van bloedcellen en van cellen die betrokken zijn bij de afweerreactie van ons lichaam, verloopt ingewikkelder dan verondersteld.
