Synthetic cells emulate natural cellular communication
A research team from the University of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural cell-cell communication using these protocells - based on the model of photoreceptors in the eye. This opens up new possibilities for basic research and applications in medicine.
A technological shift unveils the impact of gestational diabetes
Using new wearable devices, a team from UNIGE, CHUV, HUG, UNIL and EPFL identifies persistent dysfunctions in glucose regulation in women who have had gestational diabetes.
Glioblastoma: new treatment attacks brain tumors from multiple angles
Glioblastoma is the most common kind of malignant brain tumor in adults. So far, no treatment has been able to make this aggressive tumor permanently disappear. The tumor cells are too varied, and the microenvironment is too tumor-friendly. Researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel have now developed an immunotherapy that not only attacks the tumor-it also turns its microenvironment against it.
Using CRISPR to decipher whether gene variants lead to cancer
Researchers at ETH Zurich have combined two gene editing methods. This enables them to quickly investigate the significance of many genetic mutations involved in the development and treatment of cancer.
Einstein’s equations collide with the mysteries of the Universe
A French-Swiss team tests the famous physicist's predictions by calculating the distortion of time and space.
