One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression. Inducing apoptosis in cancer cells has become a major focus ...

Imagine being at a big marquee event in an arena, like the Super Bowl, with the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and a sea of jerseys all merging into one chaotic blur. While the frenzied, ...

An international research team led by Professor Manuel Maestre-Reyna from National Taiwan University has filmed a high-resolution, 3D molecular movie of a cryptochrome in action. The work is published ...

Reliable and gentler control of cellular activity with light: Researchers at the Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) and the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Optogenetic Therapies ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Until now, quantum sensing has primarily been known from solid-state materials such as diamonds with deliberately introduced tiny defects. The researchers are now transferring this principle to ...
