International distinction 2021 Alfred R. Cooper Award
Dr. E.I. Kamitsos, Research Director of TPCI/NHRF, was awarded with the 2021 Alfred R. Cooper Award of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) for his significant record of accomplishments in both spectroscopy of glass and experimental studies of glass structure and ion dynamics.
Nuclear receptor NR5A2 negatively regulates cell proliferation and tumor growth in nervous system malignancies
D. Stellas (Associate Researcher, ICB/NHRF) is co-author of the aforementioned publication. In this study, the researchers highlighted the role of the nuclear receptor NR5A2 / LRH1 as a negative regulator of cell proliferation of cancer cells derived from tumors of the nervous system.
Two programs of IHR/NHRF were funded by HFRI amounting to 145,500 euros each.
The Researchers who received the sponsorships were Hariclia Brecoulaki (Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity, IHR/NHRF) for the ReVis program, and Kostas Tampakis (Associate Researcher, Section of Modern Greek Research, IHR/NHRF) for the Atheism, Hellenic Orthodoxy, Science (At.H.O.S.).
