A research group led by Professor Henrik Birkedal at the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University, together with international collaborators, has identified a previously unknown mineralized tissue in the Mexican beaded lizard. The findings, now published in Acta Biomaterialia, provide new insights into how hard tissues can be fabricated in…

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells – and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson’s disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus University, where researchers have developed an advanced method to track molecular attacks in real time.

Researchers from Aarhus University, in collaboration with scientists from the UK and USA, have studied how RNA circles can replicate through rolling-circle mechanisms and have identified new RNA superhelix complexes that may have played a role in the origin of life.
