Nuclear pores: How to protect and penetrate the cell nucleus
Prof. Roderick Lim

Our DNA is life’s blueprint, safeguarded within the cell nucleus. To keep cells healthy, only specific molecules may enter through nuclear pores, whose exquisite selectivity has long puzzled scientists. Still, viruses have evolved clever ways to slip inside! Discover how nanoscience unravels this mystery by visualizing the tiniest movements of nuclear pores in action – and how viruses may inspire new ways to deliver therapeutic drugs directly into the nucleus.

Autismus - Neuronale Besonderheiten und neue Behandlungswege
Prof. Peter Scheiffele

In der Schweiz leben etwa 150’000 bis 250‘000 Menschen mit Autismus. Autismus umfasst ein Spektrum von Veränderungen: Symptome und Ausprägung variieren stark von Person zu Person - von schweren Entwicklungsstörungen zu vergleichsweise leichten Besonderheiten der Wahrnehmung und Kommunikation. Erfahren Sie, wie neuronale Netzwerke, die soziale Interaktionen steuern, in spezifischen Formen von Autismus verändert sind, und wie Forschende aktuell versuchen, diese Informationen für die Entwicklung neuer Therapieansätze zu verwenden.
