Enabling early detection of cancer
Research
PSI
Blood cells reveal tumours in the body. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute achieve an advance with the development of a test for early diagnosis of cancer.
Reprogramming tissue mechanically
Research
PSI
Researchers at PSI and ETH Zurich have taken connective tissue cells that have been mechanically reprogrammed to resemble stem cells and transplanted them into damaged skin. In their laboratory experiment, they were able to show that this can promote wound healing.

Grasping diseases by the roots
Research
PSI
Modern supercomputers and artificial intelligence are helping to decipher the causes of diseases. That could help improve diagnostics and therapies.
Better batteries for electric cars
Research
PSI
PSI researchers are using neutrons to make changes in battery electrolytes visible. The analysis enables better understanding of the physical and chemical processes and could aid in development of batteries with better characteristics. The results have now been published in Science Advances.
Immerse yourself in the cytoskeleton
Research
PSI
The human body consists of around 30 trillion cells – all of them highly complex structures with a wide variety of shapes and functions. What they all have in common is the cytoskeleton.
