A recent study by the Cancer Proteolytic Pathways Research Group addresses a key reason why cancer remains difficult to treat: many tumours establish a profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment that compromises anti-tumour immunity. Among the most promising effector populations are natural killer (NK) cells, which can efficiently recognize and eliminate cancer stem cells—a tumour subpopulation often resistant […]

A new methodological paper from the Microbial Glycobiology group presents a comprehensive evaluation of fluorescent probes for biofilm labelling, with careful consideration of how these probes affect bacterial physiology. This work, conducted in collaboration with the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Pharmacy and the Jožef Stefan Institute’s Department of Condensed Matter Physics, introduces a broad […]
