Senescent cells accumulate following chemotherapy and during aging, where they contribute to dysfunction through the pro-inflammatory arm of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), termed NF-κB-associated SASP (NASP). Here we show that short-term inhibition of CDK4/6 with abemaciclib

Dr. Jamil Nehme of ERIBA at the UMCG has been awarded a Veni grant to investigate how cellular metabolism influences early cancer prevention mechanisms. His research utilizes caloric restriction to understand how cells decide to repair, self-destruct, or stop dividing when faced with DNA damage, aim

At NWO life 2026, Jente Zeubring wins the 2nd prize for the best poster of the meeting. Given to her by Auke-Florian Hiemstra. The jury praises her for her enthusiasm and for her creative research arising from serendipity. Congratulations Jente!

What if we could better understand and maybe even influence the process of ageing? In “Jekels jacht naar het eeuwige leven” (NPO2), this fascinating question takes centre stage. The episode features pioneering research from ERIBA, including the labs of Ellen Nollen and Cor Calkhoven, offering a

Jouke Jan Wedman, from the Coenzyme A metabolism in health and disease team of Ody Sibon, has been awarded his PhD cum laude in medical sciences. Congratulations Jouke Jan!!!!

Clément Karch of the Calkhoven lab won the prize for the best scientific presentation at the 32nd Dutch Cancer Biology Meeting.

This study was led by Yao Lin and Boshi Wang and published in Advanced Science: https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.202509444

The evolutionary arms race between transposable elements and their hosts contributes to genomic complexity. Because transposable element mobilization can be deleterious to individual cells and organisms, their activity is generally restricted by the host. Berezikov group discovered that in the rege

An international study led by the University of Basel and including ERIBA researchers show how nuclear pore complexes – tiny gateways in the nuclear membrane – have interiors that are dynamically organized, constantly moving and rearranging. Imagine the cell’s nucleus as a bank vault protecte

‘De Gouden Vlam’ is a national competition for the best MBO graduation report. Li did her internship in ERIBA under supervision of Stijn Mouton and Lisa Glazenburg. The aim of her project was to optimize methods to isolate RNA from Tetraselmis convolutae, a species of photosynthetic algae. Photo
