RNA biology is a major research focus at the Perutz - and the new @fwf-at.bsky.social grants strengthen it even further 🙌 Elif Karagöz and Pavel Kovarik will investigate how RNA-binding proteins regulate cellular stress and immune responses ➡️ tinyurl.com/2s3f3mu8

PFAS in fish? @greenpeace.de found high #PFAS levels in marine animals from German North and Baltic Sea harbours – some exceeding EU limits.
In #ORF konkret, Thilo Hofmann (EDGE/CeMESS) explains what these “forever chemicals” mean for our environment and health.

🧪 How does cancer turn sour into power?
Cancer cells thrive in hostile, acidic environments.
A team led by Johannes Zuber (IMP) & Wilhelm Palm (DKFZ) shows that acidosis acts as a master switch, rewiring tumour metabolism and boosting resilience.
