In the latest issue of FEBS Open Bio (Volume 16, Issue 2), a special thematic “In the Limelight” issue has been published, dedicated to the FEBS3+ Meeting Exploring Molecular Frontiers, held in Pula, Croatia, in September 2024.

The FEBS3+ meeting was jointly organized by the Croatian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in collaboration with the Swedish Society for Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology and the Finnish Biochemical, Biophysical and Microbiological Society, all member societies of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS). The meeting brought together scientists from diverse fields of biochemistry and molecular sciences.
