Toxicity testing on the placenta and embryo Research ETH Zurich Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a cell culture test to detect substances that are directly or indirectly harmful to embryos. Based on an existing test used for developing new drugs and chemicals, the augmented version is designed to help reduce the number of animal experiments. A 3D printer made entirely at EPFL Teaching EPFL EPFL students have made a high-performance 3D printer that can print structures measuring just a few microns across. Tracking down unreported Coronavirus cases Research PSI In the laboratories of PSI, researchers are producing proteins of the novel coronavirus Sars-CoV-2. The University Hospital of Zurich is using these in a long-term study to investigate how many people in Switzerland have actually been infected with the virus. Unlocking the power of the microbiome Research ETH Zurich Not only animals and humans host a complex community of microorganisms – plants do this as well. Researchers at ETH Zurich have recently published two new studies that shed light on fundamental aspects of these close – and often overlooked – relationships. Optimising nature Research ETH Zurich Today, molecular genetic methods can be used to breed sustainable crops - such as multinutrient rice. Researchers are calling for the risk of new plant varieties to be assessed not on the basis of the breeding method, but on the basis of their characteristics. PSI: advancing in the fight against Covid-19 Research PSI Crystal structure analysis, computer models, cell cultures – to pursue research on Sars-CoV-2, PSI is exploring many avenues. An overview.
