The Stoffel lab and collaborators investigated the role of fructose metabolism and the rate limiting enzyme involved therein, called ketohexokinase. They could show that a fructose containing diet worsened pancreatic cancer progression in a  mouse…

The Stoffel lab aimed to shed light on the hetergenity displayed by pancreatic Beta cells during metabolic stress. They applied several high throughput sequencing methods combined with real-time imagining to characterize the stress response of B…

Cells need to be able to remove and degrade proteins which are no longer needed, the Schneider lab and collaborators could now obtain new insights how removal of proteins from the outer mitochondrial membrane of trypansomes work. Several proteins…

ETH Zurich molecular biologist Mandy Boontanrart is researching gene therapies that could be used to cure two of the most common types of inherited anaemia. She has now developed a promising approach for so-called…

The Kutay lab and collaborators investigated the disassembly of Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) during mitosis, specifically what happens to the nuclear and cytoplasmic rings of the NPCs, which are built of Y-complexes. While most of the Y-complexes…
