Innovative formulation ‘ECO-repellent’ was awarded with the golden medal at TESLA FEST 2025, the 39th International Festival of Innovation, Knowledge and Creations held in Novi Sad on October, 12-15th.
The SDIR‑HDIR‑MOKAD First Regional Congress took place in Belgrade from October 8 to 11, 2025. Over three days, the event brought together clinicians, laboratory researchers, data scientists, and patient advocates for a focused scientific program aimed at accelerating translational cancer…
Learning, memory, and behavior arise from the complex integration of neuronal networks, with the gut–brain axis playing a key role through microbiota, immune signaling, and neural pathways. Gut microflora can influence emotions, cognition, and behavior via metabolites, modulation of inflammation,…
BIOSPAIN, the largest biotechnology event organized by the national bioindustry association in Europe, was held from October 7 to 9 in Barcelona. Representatives of Serbian institutions that are tenants of the BIO4 campus were hosted by TECNALIA Spain, a leading…

Anticancer drug resistance remains a major challenge in cancer treatment hindering the efficacy of chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures cannot replicate the complexity of the in vivo tumor microenvironment (TME), limiting their utility for drug resistance research. Therefore, three-dimensional (3D) tumor models have proven to be a promising alternative for investigating chemoresistance mechanisms. In this review, various cancer 3D models, including spheroids, organoids, scaffold-based models...
Administering medication during pregnancy is always a challenging task. Levetiracetam (LEV), a second-generation antiepileptic drug, has been recognized as relatively safe based on studies assessing neurodevelopmental outcomes of children exposed to it in utero, despite some animal research reporting skeletal abnormalities. The potential link between intrauterine exposure to subtherapeutic or therapeutic doses of LEV and behavioral abnormalities in adolescent offspring has not yet been examined...
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for identifying vertebrate taxa from soil-derived environmental DNA (eDNA) – a methodological combination not previously documented in literature. The protocol is optimized for detecting cryptic species of the lesser blind mole rat (BMR). A total of 38 soil samples were collected from five cryptic BMR species across 12 localities in Serbia. Species-specific primer/probe sets were designed based on the cytochrome b (cytb) gene. After optimization of ddPCR assays...
