Death Receptors as Integrators of Stress-induced inflammation
Inflammation is initiated in response to the detection of foreign entities, called PAMPs derived from infectious agents, or due to the release of intracellular contents, called DAM...
Teaching Race, Belonging, Empire and Migration
Issues of race, belonging, empire, and migration have been at the foreground of public consciousness globally in recent years.Our collective understanding of history and culture is...
Pregnancy and the Human Brain: A Window of Neuroplasticity
Pregnancy represents one of the most extreme endocrine events of life, involving unequaled hormone surges that orchestrate widespread maternal adaptations.Animal studies have demon...
The impacts of digitalised daily life on climate change
Tackling climate change requires changes to daily life in mobility, food, homes and energy domains. Digitalisation is a major trend reshaping daily life across all these domains.Th...
Digital Scores – investigating the technological transformation of the music score
Digital scores utilising computational technology and digital media are emerging worldwide as the next evolutionary stage in the concept of the music score (Vear 2019). Yet there h...
Early Origins of Social Cohesion in Increasingly Diverse Societies
In-group favouritism and out-group discrimination are ubiquitous phenomena, threatening social cohesion in diverse societies.Notwithstanding growing urgency, we lack a systematic u...
The evolutionary landscape of modern human origins in Africa
Our understanding of the origins of our species, Homo sapiens, has undergone a major shift. New fossils, dates and genomic studies have consolidated our African origin. Yet, they a...
Molecular materials for a new generation of artificial muscles
Actuator devices converting energy into motion are a fundamental part of everyday life.However, there is currently an unmet need in actuation technologies to provide soft, smooth,...
The Electrolytic Revolution: Harnessing Coulomb Physics and Soft Matter Chemistry to Design Electrolyte Materials
Electrolytes fill our natural environment and are crucial to many areas of modern technology.Animals and plants are made up of electrolyte and our oceans are enormous reservoirs of...
Opera and the Politics of Empire in Habsburg Europe, 1815-1914
TRANSOPERA investigates the politics of opera in the Habsburg Empire between the Congress of Transopera investigates the politics of opera in the Habsburg Empire between the Congre...
Chromosome-based mechanisms of transcriptional inactivation during mitosis
Coordination between major cellular functions, such as transcription and proliferation, is critical to ensure cell survival. It has long been recognised that while in mitosis, cell...
Paleovirology, the evolutionary dynamics of viral cross-species transmissions, and the consequences of virus-host gene exchange
Viruses are ubiquitous, obligate intracellular parasites that have had a pervasive influence on the evolutionary history of life.Despite being extensively studied due to their role...
Shortening the path to rare disease diagnosis by using newborn genetic screening and digital technologies
In the EU alone, according to the Orphanet DB (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31527858/), 30 million persons, 3,5-6% of the general population, are affected by one of the 6,172 di...
Social Inclusion and the Political Economy of Education: Building Social Capital in Ethnic Diversity
Human migratory flows are currently at an unprecedented scale.The majority of these flows concern forced displacements, turning into long-term settlements in host countries, making...
Robust statistical methodology and theory for large-scale data
Modern technology allows large-scale data to be collected in many new forms, and their underlying generating mechanisms can be extremely complex.In fact, an interesting (and perhap...
Speedmeter: Quantum back-action noise-free interferometry for improving the science capabilities of future gravitational wave observatories
The discoveries enabled by observations of gravitational waves (GW) from merging black holes and neutron stars provided us with a stunning glimpse of the immense potential of GW mu...
Tame geometry and transcendence in Hodge theory
Hodge theory, as developed by Deligne and Griffiths, is the main tool for analyzing the geometry and arithmetic of complex algebraic varieties, that is, solution sets of algebraic...
Investigating Pleistocene population dynamics in the Southern Caucasus
Over the past 25-years, knowledge of the origins, evolution and diversity of our species has increased dramatically.Yet, the behavioural mechanisms enabling their global expansion...
Quantum Electron Wavepacket Spectroscopy
Can we shape an electron wavepacket in space and time? Can we tailor it to probe material properties that are currently inaccessible?Recent work has shown that high-energy electron...
Brains that fire together wire together: Interbrain plasticity underlies interaction-based learning
Traditionally, brain plasticity was viewed as a change occurring in synapses, brain structures and functional networks, within an individual brain.Considering that social interacti...
