T3 Pharma: Bacterial cancer treatment on the path to enter clinical phase

According to T3 Pharmaceuticals (T3 Pharma), the funds of more than 25 million Swiss francs will be used primarily to progress the lead candidate through early clinical studies. The clinical trial in patients with solid…


How bacteria resist hostile attacks

Countless bacterial species share cramped environments where competition for space and resources is fierce. Some rely on a molecular speargun to outcompete their opponents. One of them is Pseudomonas aeruginosa . It is…

New way to improve the efficacy of innovative RNA therapies

In modern medicine, personalized therapies are becoming increasingly important – particularly in the treatment of genetic diseases. One such promising approach is the use of so-called antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). These…


Sleep-wake rhythm: Fish change our understanding of sleep regulation

Until recently, it was assumed that vertebrates share similar mechanisms controlling sleep behavior. That's why researchers have been using fish in the past 20 years as a model organism to study sleep and its regulation. Now…


Researchers crack a puzzle of bacterial genome evolution

The forefather of phylogenetic trees can be found in Charles Darwin's revolutionary work "On the Origin of Species". These trees provide information about the evolution and relationships of species, from simple cells to…


How does a wing grow? A journey on the path of proteins.

How organs develop and how they grow to the right size and shape are fundamental questions in developmental biology. The morphogen Dpp is a signaling molecule controlling the development of different organs with regard to…


Pregnancy remodels the brain: stem cells shape the sense of smell in mothers

Recognizing their offspring by smell ensures animal parents can nurture their own young. The research group led by Prof. Fiona Doetsch at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, has now demonstrated in mice that new nerve cells…
