Cholera no longer occurs in Europe. The last case in Slovakia was recorded in the 1970s. The bacterium disappeared thanks to good hygiene standards... You can listen to an interview with I. Barák on this topic...

The Summer School for Young Scientists 2025 has come to an end, and we were part of it... We would like to thank the organizers from All4science as well as the talented future young scientists who had the opportunity to try out scientific experiments with us during the week...

Bratislava was the capital of science for two days. Science in every cell - this was the motto of this year's We are SAS event, which we were part of...

On 24 May 2025, a seminar for the general public “The Science Behind Essential Oils” was held in Bratislava, which included practical demonstrations...

On Friday, 16 May 2025, the popularization event "Experience Science with the SAS" took place in Košice near the Lower Gate. In the city centre, 15 Academy departments from all over Slovakia presented themselves in stands. We did not miss ...

The SAGA project aims to develop different strategies to prevent damage to archives, find out more in an interview with Domenico Pangallo...

On Monday, 31 March, the Environmental and Food Microbiology Group of the Institute of Environmental and Food Microbiology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences was visited by fifth grade pupils from the Pankúchova 6 School in Bratislava. Their curiosity was focused on how scientific research is carried out and what challenges accompany the work of a scientist...

A group from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, led by Dr. Domenico Pangallo, PhD, is one of the investigators of the innovative, international SAGA project, which is based on the common need to protect national archives from natural and man-made disasters, as well as climate change. This project aims to develop different strategies to prevent damage to archives while studying existing biological threats that threaten not only archives but also the staff who work with them and their users/visitors. The project is based on a multidisciplinary collaboration between several partners across Europe (Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Malta, Italy, Ireland, Poland and Slovakia)...

The molecule, discovered by scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences in collaboration with doctors, may also offer hope for people with long-term covid...

A scientific team, which includes the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, v. v. i., using biochemical and biophysical characterizations, has succeeded in detecting the CD44 molecule in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) as a specific and reliable biomarker of DPLD accompanied by pulmonary fibrosis... 

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) focused on possible pathogens of green foods. Also on saprophytic microorganisms that can affect ready-to-eat salads

T. Moskalets presented the results of studies on the molecular mechanisms of the inhibitory effect of the flavanone glycoside hesperidin on epithelial-mesenchymal transition and pulmonary fibrosis. It was shown that in vitro, the process of fibrosis, which is considered a major long-term complication after COVID-19, has an incompletely understood etiology and limited treatment options, is able to be suspended by hesperidin, suppressing the expression of mesenchymal and fibrosis markers (collagen, fibronectin, a-SMA, ADAM 17, PAI-1 and others)...
