Nanoplasmonic imaging reveals real-time protein secretion
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have used a nanoplasmonics approach to observe the real-time production of cell secretions, including proteins and antibodies; an advancement that could aid in the development of cancer treatments, vaccines, and other therapies.
New Circuit Model Offers Insights into Brain Function
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL’s Blue Brain Project have developed a groundbreaking computational model of the thalamic microcircuit in the mouse brain, offering new insights into the role this region plays in brain function and dysfunction.
New drug types can help counter antibiotic resistance

EPFL
EPFL scientists are developing a new approach that can help stem the tide of antibiotic resistance.
Accurate rapid tests made from smart graphene paper
Research
ETH Zurich
A team led by ETH Zurich chemical engineers Chih-Jen Shih and Andrew deMello have developed a rapid test system made of smart graphene paper. It only costs a few cents per test strip, is easy to use but is as accurate as lab measurements. The approach will impact more than just disease monitoring.
How tumours transform blood vessels
Research
ETH Zurich
Increasingly dense cell clusters in growing tumours convert blood vessels into fibre-filled channels. This makes immune cells less effective, as findings by researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Strasbourg suggest.
Immune-cell booster for cancer patients
Research
ETH Zurich
Cancer patients might one day benefit from being administered immune cells from healthy donors. But as things stand, receiving donor cells can cause severe or even fatal immune reactions. A researcher at ETH Zurich has now developed a technology that avoids these.
