Supply Chain Resilience Center at Charles University

With the participation of the Rector of Charles University and senior representatives of the Czech Republic and Taiwan, Charles University in cooperation with National Chengchi University in Taiwan launched a joint project and established the Supply Chain Resilience Center. The universities will jointly explore supply chain resilience in the semiconductor industry. The centre is part of the Taiwanese government's efforts to support the development of the semiconductor environment in the country and is 100% funded by the Taiwanese government. Four faculties of the Charles University, including experts on global production networks from the Research Centre of Economic Geography and Regional Development of the Charles University.

Unveiling a Novel Immune Response in the Intestinal Epithelium

Researchers from the Jan Dobeš laboratory have made a significant discovery uncovering a novel immune response in the intestinal epithelium. Furthermore, their study delineates a mechanism that controls this immune response. Their findings were recently published in the renowned Journal of Experimental Medicine in a paper authored by Tomáš Brabec and other members of Jan Dobeš's laboratory at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. The study was a collaborative effort involving scientists from Martin Schwarzer's and Dominik Filipp's laboratories at the Czech Academy of Sciences, as well as Jakub Abramson from the Weizmann Institute in Israel.

Scientists' discovery of species diversity in Nature Communications

Researches from the Center for Theoretical Study and the Faculty of Science of Charles University used the mathematical models of evolution to confirm Darwin's assumptions that the rate of species diversification is higher in species and lineages with large geographic range. They also identified regions and taxa that form an exception to this rule, in which, paradoxically, small ranges are associated with rapid diversification of species. Their discovery has now been published by the world-renowned scientific journal Nature Communications.

A protein that helps cells "eat themselves"

Scientists from the Department of Experimental Plant Biology at the Faculty of Science of Charles University have published the results of their research in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Plants, which brings new insights into the function of the ARP2/3 protein complex in plant cells. It turns out that plant cells can use this component in a very different way than animal cells - it is important for cellular recycling of peroxisomes.
