6 avril 2022 Revealing the secrets to longer-living concrete
After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on Earth. It’s the foundation to major structures all over the world and has been used for centuries – since the Roman Empire. But now, our oldest concrete-based infrastructure is approaching the end of its expected lifespan. Understanding the longevity of concrete is imperative for the safety of concrete buildings. We need to know when a co…

6 avril 2022 Exploring the protein folding chaperones at the heart of our cells
Insulin is a hormone that is rapidly secreted into the blood, following a meal, in order to control blood glucose levels. These pulses of insulin secretion enable the body to take up and store sugar and quickly return blood glucose to normal levels. Diabetes, which affects 1 in 10 people in Europe, occurs when this process goes wrong.The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a protein-producing compartment…
