Multisite phosphorylation of the AML-linked C-terminal of nucleophosmin (NPM1) orchestrates protein stability, DNA binding and charge block-driven phase separation
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is a nucleolar protein commonly mutated in ~30% of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. These mutations occur in the terminal exon of the NPM1 gene, affecting the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of the protein and causing its...
A study improves advanced medical ceramics to slow the deterioration of orthopaedic prostheses
The incorporation of two-dimensional boron nitride, known as ‘white graphene’, into zirconia ceramics increases the strength of this material—used in hip, dental and knee prostheses—by 18% A study led by the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS), a joint...
CSIC researchers identify photocatalysis as a key technology for driving solutions in health, energy and the environment
Marta Castellote (IETCC), Gerardo Colón (ICMS) and José Luis Hueso (INMA) have coordinated a report as part of the ‘Science4Policy’ programme, in which they analyse the potential applications and future challengesThe ‘Conexión Fotocatálisis’ scientific network, which...
