Designed proteins to treat muscular dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy is a term used to describe many different muscular diseases caused by genetic defects. To date, there are no treatments available to stop disease progression. In their study, the scientists led by Prof.…


First Innosuisse project at the Biozentrum

The project entitled «Development of a lead compound for specific mTORC1 inhibition» is the first Innosuisse funded project at the Biozentrum. Replacing the former Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), the…


How the key protein mTOR controls cell growth

Cells proliferate by dividing repeatedly. Each cell division produces two daughter cells, which must first grow to a certain size before they can divide, too. This requires an increased production of cell components,…


Win-win in muscle research: faster results and fewer laboratory animals thanks to new method

Researchers use the mouse as a model organism to study the structure and function of skeletal muscle, neuromuscular diseases and ageing processes in muscle. The scientists are aware of their responsibility in the use of…
