Scientists from the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology at Jagiellonian University have shown that a key enzyme transport system in the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is more complex than previously believed, providing new insight into a mechanism essential for the organism’s survival.
Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology are developing a system designed to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to tumours using nanometric carriers, which could reduce damage to healthy cells and improve treatment effectiveness.
Polish archaeologists working in Old Dongola in Sudan have discovered an Arabic document confirming the existence of King Qasqash, a ruler previously regarded as a semi-legendary figure.
Body fat affects the human voice, making women’s voices louder and giving men’s voices a “brighter” tone, according to research by Polish anthropologist Łukasz Pawelec, PhD, of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences.
RNA’s spatial structure allows it to replicate efficiently without enzymes, a feature that may explain why RNA, not DNA, was the first self-replicating molecule on Earth, according to Polish researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry at Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Archaeologists have discovered traces of the medieval town of Stolzenberg near the settlement of Zagrody close to Sławoborze in north-western Poland. The town was likely founded in the second half of the 13th century or at the beginning of the 14th century and existed only briefly before being abandoned under unknown circumstances.
One of the largest known stars in the Universe has changed its appearance completely within just a few years, according to an international team of astronomers that includes Polish researchers from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw working within the OGLE project.
“I want to find the weakest genetic links in bacteria to create precise antibacterial therapies,” says Iwona Mruk, a molecular biologist and microbial geneticist from University of Gdańsk.
An international team of scientists has produced the largest and most detailed radio map of the Universe to date, revealing 13.7 million active galaxies and pinpointing the locations of supermassive black holes.
Polish researchers have shown that green fluorescent protein (GFP), one of the most widely used marker proteins in biological research, may lead to misinterpretations of cellular processes.
