Hairy cells: How cilia’s motor works
Understanding this motion may help to tackle health problems that affect cilia, which range from fertility issues to lung disease and COVID-19.
Medikamente mit Licht an- und abschalten
Forschende des PSI drehen einen molekularen Film eines Krebsmedikaments mit Lichtschalter. Das eröffnet neue Einblicke für Wirkstoffentwickler.
The clever glue keeping the cell’s moving parts connected
Optimised by nature over 100 million years of evolution, this smart liquid provides a crucial coupling that ensures cell division correctly proceeds.
Imaging biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease
Artificial intelligence pinpoints cells indicative of Alzheimer’s disease based on DNA packing in mouse brain images, shows study in Nature Communications
Automated synapse-level reconstruction of neural circuits in the larval zebrafish brain
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, Google Inc. and the Paul Scherrer Institute published a new method and data resource that makes connectomic analyses of the entire larval zebrafish brain possible.
Paul Scherrer Institut und Apollo Health Ventures gründen Focal Biosciences
Das neu gegründete Unternehmen Focal Biosciences wird sich darauf konzentrieren, führende Experten und wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen zusammenzubringen, um die Umprogrammierung von Zellen für den Kampf gegen weit verbreitete altersbedingte Krankheiten nutzbar zu machen.
A new spin on sample delivery for membrane proteins
Proteins hover in front of the X-ray beam at a Swiss Light Source beamline. Now, spinning thin films bring on board these trickiest of proteins.
