Plants send signals into the atmosphere to communicate with other plants and animals: when a plant is attacked by a pathogen or a herbivore it releases certain compounds into the air that "warn" others of the imminent danger so that they can prepare themselves. These...
A group of researchers led by the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB) and UAB have achieved to quantify with precision the effect of protein aggregation on cell aging processes using as models the Escherichia coli bacteria and the molecule which triggers Alzheimer's disease. Scientists demonstrated that the effect can be predicted...
The UAB Food Technology Plant Special Research Centre (CERPTA) has designed a new system capable of sterilising and stabilising liquids at high pressure, thus allowing them to last longer at room temperature and reduce the use of additives to preserve organoleptic qualities....
