Official page of the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cyprus. Biology is at the forefront of scientific discovery and public attention.

The recent delineation of the complete genomic information of humans and several other organisms has provided the foundation for unprecedented advances in understanding life at the molecular level. It has also provided new tools and approaches to medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and other disciplines. In addition, the challenge of halting current threats to biodiversity has led to many breakt

🌿 Η Κύπρος χρειάζεται το δικό της Μουσείο Φυσικής Ιστορίας!
Με μεγάλη επιτυχία ολοκληρώθηκε το συνέδριο που διοργάνωσαν η επιστημονική εταιρεία βίος – SBSCy και το Τμήμα Βιολογικών Επιστημών του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου για τη σημασία και την προοπτική ίδρυσης ενός Εθνικού Μουσείου Φυσικής Ιστορίας στην Κύπρο.
Διεθνείς ειδικοί, ακαδημαϊκοί και εκπρόσωποι θεσμών υπογράμμισαν την επείγουσα ανάγκη να προστατευθούν οι πολύτιμες συλλογές βιοποικιλότητας και γεωλογικής κληρονομιάς της χώρας, πολλές από τις οποίες κινδυνεύουν να χαθούν για πάντα.
Ένα Εθνικό Μουσείο Φυσικής Ιστορίας είναι επένδυση στη γνώση, στο περιβάλλον και στις επόμενες γενιές.

New study from the Cell ad Developmental Biology laboratory shows that that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is involved in ciliogenesis.

Dr. Maria Chatzifrangkeskou just published a new article in the Journal of Cell Biology. Maria, using Xenopus embryos and cultured cells showed that JNK is found at the base of motile and primary cilia, in association with the basal bodies. In multiciliated cells, JNK is involved in ciliogenesis and the ciliary function through the regulation of the actin networks of multiciliated cells and the establishment of the intraflagellar transport-B core complex. JNK is implicated in the development of diabetes, neurodegeneration, and liver disease, all of which have been linked to ciliary dysfunction. This work raises the possibility that the involvement of JNK in disease may in part stem from its role in ciliogenesis and ciliary function.

The full manuscript can be found here: https://rupress.org/jcb/article/222/11/e202303052/276339/JNK-regulates-ciliogenesis-through-the
