The subject is interdisciplinary research in which Croatian scientists have combined cell biology and genetics with theoretical physics and the most advanced techniques of microscopy.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 12th of September, 2018, at a press conference held today at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (IRB), a team of scientists led by prof. dr. sc. Ivo Tolić from IRB and prof. dr. sc. Nenad Pavin from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (PMF) in Zagreb presented the latest results of their detailed research, which reveals that the spindle apparatus is a chiral structure.
This miraculous discovery could enter into the world’s textbooks and lead to new insights into the process of the proper distribution of genetic material. The results of this research have been released and published by the well-respected and prestigious scientific journal, Nature Communications, a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by the Nature Publishing Group since the year 2010.
As statedm this is an interdisciplinary research in which the scientists have combined cell biology and genetics with theoretical physics and the most advanced techniques of microscopy, and what is particularly exciting when it comes to the ins and outs of this research in particular, is that everything began directly from the theoretical model.
The new work is a continuation of many years of research and a number of successful publications, often published on the covers of renowned scientific journals, such as the Journal of Communications, Nature Cell Biology, Cell, Developmental Cell, Molecular Biology of the Cell and Physical Review Letters. The new work is funded from several projects including the prestigious European Research Council (ERC), worth more than two million euros in total.
