- Against the mainstream in fungal systematics
- Developments in the current systematics of fungi are largely directed towards the division of existing species into smaller, narrowly defined species. But as demonstrated by scientists from the Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, and the Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic on the Aspergillus genus model, such a division is often not justified and only complicates or makes the correct identification of species impossible. The results were published in a series of three publications in a prestigious journal Studies in Mycology.

- The study's findings provide insights into the surprising evolution of proteins
- A team of researchers from the Faculty of Science at Charles University, BIOCEV and IOCB (Czech Republic), Johns Hopkins University (USA) and ELSI (Japan) has discovered why modern proteins use a quasi-universal repertoire of 20 canonical amino acids (AAs). The study, published in the journal JACS, shows that foldability was likely a critical factor in the selection of the canonical alphabet.

- New weapons against 'brain-eating' and tropical diseases thanks to BIOCEV scientists
- An international team of parasitologists and medicinal chemists from the BIOCEV Centre has developed and successfully tested a substance against a deadly parasite. Naegleria fowleri attacks the human brain and despite all modern treatments, 97% of cases end fatally. The new substance has been shown to cure the infection in mice. Along with it, scientists have discovered other anti-parasitic agents that could be used against malaria or sleeping sickness in the future.

- Degradation as a synthetic pathway?
- Zeolites are extensively studied materials with a high potential for real-life use and industrial applications. However, these applications are often limited by zeolite synthesis, which usually demands harsh conditions and is thus unsuitable for preparing chemically labile materials. Such materials have now been successfully prepared by the research group of Professor Jiří Čejka and Associate Prof. Maksym Opanasenko, in the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry, and the Charles University Centre of Advanced Materials (CUCAM). Their article has been published in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
