Scientists from ETH SMOC and Kinderspital Zurich have been awarded a prestigious Helmut Horten Clinical Translation grant to investigate rare metabolic diseases in children. More information: smoc.ethz.ch/#highlights #RareDisease #PrecisionMedicine #MultiOmics
Congratulations to Noah Hildbrand for achieving the best bachelor's degree, and to Matthias Noser for excelling in the basic examination! 👏🎉 Their outstanding accomplishments are truly commendable.
Immunity versus community: Leaf bacteria activate dose-dependent immune responses that shape the plant microbiota. A dynamic feedback described in @NaturePlants by the #VorholtLab at @ETH Zurich. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…. Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41477….
ETH researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the genome. @jcornlab @CullotGregoire brnw.ch/21wPb6M
In a collaboration between the @PilhoferLab and the Albers Lab from the University of Freiburg, the researchers show that haloarchaea express contractile injection systems – or “molecular daggers”, which influence the microbial communities they inhabit. biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
How does the genome respond to genome duplication? Srikant et al. from the Bomblies lab (IMPB/D-BIOL) at ETH Zurich found epigenomic and transcriptomic changes in neo- polyploid Arabidopsis arenosa often revert in evolved polyploids. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
Post-translational modifications confer important functions on peptides and proteins. The Piel lab @ETH_en Zurich and collaborators discovered a new modification resulting in complex, steroid-like amino acids. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
The human GID E3 ubiquitin ligase complex regulates cell migration. A recent study by the Peter lab at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Côté and Pertz labs, demonstrates that the hGID GID4 complex controls cell motility by targeting ARHGAP11A. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new method to measure changes in #Protein social networks within cells, paving the way for new drug treatments for diseases like cancer and #Alzheimer’s. brnw.ch/21wNPnN
Implanting bacteria into fungi to unlock new biochemical capabilities! Read the findings on inducing artificial #endosymbiosis followed by adaptive #evolution in 🍄 by the #VorholtLab @ETH Zurich. @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… ETH News: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
The gamma-tubulin ring complex controls microtubule nucleation in cells. The @MikeVVieczorek lab demonstrates that CDK5RAP2 regulates the structure of the gamma-tubulin ring complex to dramatically promote its microtubule-nucleating activity. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
This is a public lecture, everyone is invited to join. Just register!
Lunch was once again so-so? Professor Thomas Michaels can tell you why. Together with well-known chefs and food producers, he will present the fascinating science behind cooking. "Cook the Science" On 22 October, 12 November and 3 December from 6 pm. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
Biology student Fatima Ali Ebrahim had a rocky start of her studies. In this video she shares what helped her turn things around and why she now loves studying biology at ETH. youtu.be/oSv3yRM2R88
Whatever it takes to make the right decision or to get an impression: D-BIOL answered hundreds of questions during the study information days at our stand, in lab tours, an example lecture, a curriculum presentation and a comparison event. See you again in a year!
In our new study we reveal how NAC coordinates and regulates successive co-translational nascent chain ⛓️ processing on the mammalian ribosome out today in @Nature rdcu.be/dRAQY collab with @DeuerlingLab Shu-ou Shan @Caltech @snsf_ch @ERC_Research @ETH_en
The paper by @BasurajSK , @KorkhovLab and the group of @arshukla ( @IITKanpur ) and other collaborators now published in @CellCellPress provides insights into the mechanism of chemokine interactions with the Duffy antigen receptor DARC. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
