International scientific collaboration reveals how intermittent fasting regulates ageing through autophagy
Aging, Biology & Biotechnology, Biosciences, Cells, Nature, Publication

Recent research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), at the Paris Cité University, and at the University of Graz, published today in the premier international science periodical Nature Cell Biology, sheds light on the mechanism through which spermidine regulates autophagy, a process that ensures the recycling of components within the cell, to promote the anti-ageing effects of intermittent fasting.

Of bantam brains and fancy footwork: bioinformatics tools help reveal complexity of avian evolution
Biology & Biotechnology, Biosciences, Collaboration, Information & Communication Technologies, Nature, Publication

In 2014 the Science journal featured an article on the bird tree of life, mentioning the essential role of algorithms and supercomputers that enable modern research in evolutionary biology for all types of living beings. Now, a decade and a giant leap in tool development later, part of the team that coordinated the computer analyses at that time co-authored another paper in Nature on the complexity of avian evolution.
