New drug types can help counter antibiotic resistance
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists are developing a new approach that can help stem the tide of antibiotic resistance.
Detecting exhaustion with smart sportswear
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an electronic yarn capable of precisely measuring how a person’s body moves. Integrated directly into sportswear or work clothing, the textile sensor predicts the wearer’s exhaustion level during physical exertion.
How tumours transform blood vessels
Research
ETH Zurich
Increasingly dense cell clusters in growing tumours convert blood vessels into fibre-filled channels. This makes immune cells less effective, as findings by researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Strasbourg suggest.
Immune-cell booster for cancer patients
Research
ETH Zurich
Cancer patients might one day benefit from being administered immune cells from healthy donors. But as things stand, receiving donor cells can cause severe or even fatal immune reactions. A researcher at ETH Zurich has now developed a technology that avoids these.
The legacy of trauma
Research
ETH Zurich
Emotional trauma can have far-reaching ripple effects and may even reverberate across generations. Professors Isabelle Mansuy and Katharina Gapp study how the effects of trauma can be inherited through epigenetic mechanisms.
Where do toxins from tobacco attack DNA?
Research
ETH Zurich
It is known that toxins in tobacco smoke can change our DNA – but where exactly in the genome they do this has been a mystery. A new approach developed by researchers at ETH Zurich now brings light into the darkness. In the future, this could make it easier than ever to determine the safety of many chemical substances.
