Mushroom cultivation on substrate blocks in agricultural production and gardens
The production of mushrooms on substrate blocks in climate-controlled growrooms is a proven method for decades. Growing mushrooms on logs or straw bales outdoors is really trendy in private horticulture. So far, little attention and little research has been done on a promising hybrid form: production on substrate ...

Food Chain Model for sustainable food chains and food waste prevention
The main product of this project includes five modules (toolboxes), which together form the Sustainable Food Chain Model (FCM) and enable the modeling of the environmental effects of entire food value chains. This makes it possible to model scenarios of value chains with their impact on the environment, which is ...

Developing novel and effective therapies for treatment of childhood brain cancers
Brain cancers are a leading cause of mortality in children. Brainstem glioma constitutes 10% of all pediatric central nervous system tumors, the most common type being a high grade diffuse midline glioma (DMG). Preclinical discoveries fail to translate into clinical success due to: i) drug systemic toxicity, and ii) ...
