Elucidation of Host-Pathogen Interactions lead to Antibiotic-Sparing Therapeutics Urinary tract infection is a significant cause of morbidity in women throughout their lifespan, in infant boys and in older men. Serious…
Individual visual stimuli are not processed independently by our brain. Rather neurons exchange incoming information to form a coherent perceptual image from the myriad of visual details impinging on our eyes. How our visual…
Bachelor of Science in Biology, Major in Molecular Biology A Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Major in Molecular Biology combines a basic education in science with specialist lectures from all areas of molecular…
The brain is malleable well into adulthood. Brain plasticity is not only due to the formation of new nerve connections. Stem cells present in the adult brain also generate new nerve cells. For more than a hundred years,…
Each living cell grows and divides, thus generating new offspring. This process is also known as the cell cycle. Strictly speaking, it describes a periodic repetition of two coordinated cycles: the duplication of a cell’s…
The cell envelope is covered with a wide variety of receptor proteins. They are the sensors to the environment, perceive signals such as the availability of nutrients and transmit this information to the inside of the cell.…
The cell and developmental biologist Prof. Alex Schier, from the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, has been recognized for his work on embryonic development, in particular, for establishing and applying genetic and…
From block course to cooking class. July 2018 In the block course they were simply known as the Nirvanas. Twenty years on, in a cooking class, their hair now short, yet each slipped back into his old role. The Biozentrum…
Proteins perform various jobs in cells, they catalyze thousands of biochemical reactions, relay signals and are required for building cellular structures and transport processes. Within every single cell of our body vast…
