“Glass sponges” have silica-based skeletal elements with an astonishing behavior: their spicules behave better than any current optical fiber. Scientists from the CEAB-CSIC are involved in an international research to understand the properties that would explain the optical properties of these sponges and to apply in the future generation of computers and optical fiber.

Scientists at the Barcelona Molecular Biology Institute of the CSIC research to unveil the secrets of heterochromatin, the most silenced part of the human genome. Factors related to its regulation or misregulation can be involved in growing, development and diseases. Two recent works unveil the essential role of one of these factors, the intriguing histone H1.
