Better prevention as the key to healthy living Research ETH Board For many people, the last few years of life are still shaped by illnesses and limitations. Healthy ageing could be promoted with effective prevention strategies and new treatment options. Researchers in the ETH Domain are working on this objective at all levels. “Even more cancer patients could benefit from proton therapy” Research PSI A newly published book describes how life-saving proton therapy was developed at PSI. Damien Weber explains why the full potential of the method has not yet been exploited. Muscles from the printer Research Empa Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic, yet powerful structures using 3D printing. One day, these could be used in medicine or robotics – and anywhere else where things need to move at the touch of a button. Unraveling the brain's hidden motor modules Research EPFL Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes movement. A new cryptography framework for secure genomic studies Research EPFL Developed from EPFL research, in collaboration with MIT and Yale, the combination of secure computation and distributed algorithms opens a new era for data collaborations in medical research. Precision therapy with microbubbles Research ETH Zurich ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualised how tiny liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell membrane enabling the drug uptake. Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... Next Page 2 of 36
