Measuring dementia threads with peptide dyes
In PNAS, biochemists from Utrecht University and their international colleagues present a new measurement method called FibrilPaint, which makes the growth of harmful protein clumps in the brain visible.
Super antibiotic EVG7 keeps beneficial bacteria intact
It’s been just over a year since C2W | Mens & Molecule first wrote about the super antibiotic EVG7. Now, the Leiden team has returned, showing that EVG7 selectively targets the harmful bacterium Clostridioides difficile without significantly affecting beneficial gut bacteria in a mouse model.
Registration is now open: FEBS Young Scientist Forum 2026
Maastricht will be the place to be for the international biochemistry and molecular biology community from 4 to 8 July 2026, when it will host the 50th FEBS Congress. Although this may seem a long way off, there is every reason to take action now. Registration is now open for the FEBS Young Scientists Forum, which will take place from 2 to 4 July 2026.
ECC10 in Antwerp: Looking ahead
The EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC10) will take place in Antwerp in 2026! Over the coming months, we will be exploring the reasons why you shouldn’t miss Europe’s largest chemistry congress.
An Evening of Chemistry
Sjoerd Rijpkema loves the Avond van de Chemie (Evening of Chemistry). Not necessarily for the brilliant contributions, but for the delightful awkwardness.
Proteomics for Forensics
DNA analysis of bodily fluids found at a crime scene can be invaluable in solving cases. But what if the results are inconclusive? According to research from the Netherlands Forensic Institute, proteomics could help when you need extra information.
Philosophy
Sjoerd Rijpkema doesn’t quite understand the exceedingly detailed questions that PhD candidates get during their defense ceremony. However, he recently came across a PhD defense with a markedly different approach.
Filtering fungi
Oyster mushrooms cleaning ditches and trenches. This is the solution with which MycoFarming aims to establish itself. Their biological filtration method cleans the water as the fungi grow, providing an innovative, sustainable solution to the nitrogen crisis that does not place a heavy burden on agricultural production or the environment.
