Despite years of efforts and research, malaria continues to challenge global health, with drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum threatening to undo decades of progress. Understanding the parasite at the molecular level is crucial to stay ahead. In a...
Neurological disorders are increasingly common in older adults, often due to impaired nerve cell function. Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have uncovered new insights into ion channels, providing a deeper understanding of neurological...
Cells often create tiny liquid droplets—called coacervates—to gather and sort molecules without membranes. These structures help organise biochemical reactions in living cells, but understanding how they form and function has remained a challenge. Researchers from the...
Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding why some multiple myeloma patients stop responding to treatment. Their study, published in Nature Communications (1 September 2025), identifies a novel long...
From 10 to 20 July 2025, the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) hosted its first integrated Summer School, welcoming over 150 undergraduate students from eight leading universities across China, Korea, and Taiwan. The 10-day programme offered an immersive experience...
Scientists from the NTU School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB), have developed a sophisticated analytical platform, one that has led to the discovery of an alternate signalling pathway between our immune system and our gut...
Lighting Up Ageing Cells: NTU Researchers Develop a Novel Biosensor to Study Actin Dynamics How do our cells adapt to stress and age over time? A research team from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) has developed a new biosensor that makes it possible to...
Inspired by Nature: Enhancing p53 to Prevent Cancer Before It Starts Cancer incidence is rising globally, with one in four individuals expected to develop the disease during their lifetime. This sobering statistic has driven decades of research into the...
In the ongoing battle against plant pathogens, the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae) stands out as a formidable foe, threatening food security worldwide. Now, scientists from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have...
In an era where global food security is a pressing concern, our researchers from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) are making groundbreaking discoveries in plant immunity. Plant diseases caused by pathogens pose a significant...
