All healthy somatic cells in the human body divide on a regular basis, producing two identical daughter cells. When some cells enter an arrested state following cancer therapy, their presence may indicate a likely recurrence and EU-funded scientists are on their trail.

The PACCASA project has developed an effective programme to prevent violence against children that is now implemented in 15 countries globally. The project has also expanded beyond its original aims of a single programme and has partnered in a suite of child abuse prevention programmes for different age groups, now scaled up in 21 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean.

Social media have provided many social, religious and political movements an effective means for networking and communicating with diverse stakeholders. EU researchers examined Islamic State’s (IS) own use of online platforms to reinforce its ideologies.

EU-funded scientists are using cutting-edge biotechnologies, genomic analyses and mathematic modelling methods to improve livestock immunisation to help reduce soaring veterinary use of antibiotics.

The use of antibiotics in livestock production is as problematic as in human disease and resistance is building up very swiftly. “We do not have the throughput of antibiotics to tackle this,” says project coordinator Dr Isabelle Schwartz from the molecular virology and immunology department at the National Institute for Agricultural Research in France.

Scientists studying molluscs and other small creatures from the great lakes around the Caucasus have not only created a new understanding of a little-known biota and the threats it faces in a key region where Eastern Europe meets Central Asia. They have also pioneered an integrated approach to modelling which could help us better understand the risks of human activity causing entire ecosystems to collapse.

The global impacts of corrosion are significant and far-reaching, and until recently, so were the negative effects of anti-corrosion coatings on our environment as well as human health and safety. Innovative eco-friendly additives should be good news for economies, industry and ecosystems.

Corrosion creates financial loss for industries and economies as well as public health and safety concerns related to corroded metals and release of toxins. However, exposure to many traditional coatings and paints creates health, safety and environmental risks.

Over one billion people, mostly in rural zones of developing countries live without power, but existing technologies struggle to meet these needs. Furthermore, a 70 % increase in worldwide demand for electricity is expected over the next few decades.

Salmonella bacteria is responsible for 100 000 cases of food poisoning each year in the European Union. Detection takes up to five days using current technologies, posing a serious threat to food safety applications and often leading to product recalls.

Combining data from the European Space Agency’s Herschel and Gaia missions, the EU-funded StarFormMapper project aims to get a complete picture of how massive stars and star clusters form.

Within Europe, perception of the EU is often positive. However, as this differs in the South, one project adopted a ‘decentred’ research approach to find out why, what the implications are, and what can be changed.
