Why stem cells could hold key to tackling breast cancer
Stem cells can play a critical role in breast cancer relapses, EU-funded researchers have found. By understanding the molecular characteristics of these stem cells, the BRECASTEM project hopes to advance new treatments and more targeted therapies – and ultimately save lives. The cells in our body are constantly being replaced. This requires new cells to […]
Isotopic makeup of meteorites sheds light on the early solar system
The isotopic analysis of elements found in meteorites provides key clues to understanding the formation and evolution of the solar system. It could also help scientists investigate the potential habitability of other solar systems. The most interesting aspect of a meteorite might seem to be the spectacular light show it creates when it breaks through […]

An unexpected companion
This year 2019 marked five years since ESA’s Rosetta probe arrived at its target, a comet named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (or 67P/C-G). In August, it was four years since the comet, escorted by Rosetta, reached its perihelion – the closest point to the Sun along its orbit. This image, gathered by Rosetta a couple of months after perihelion, when the comet activity was still […]
