Computer simulations help predict fracture risk
(04 Jul 2008)
Using a Blue Gene supercomputer, scientists of ETH Zurich and the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory demonstrated the most extensive simulation yet of actual human bone structure. This achievement may lead to better clinical tools to improve the ...

A step forward in targeted pain therapy
(23 Jan 2008)
New findings in pain research published
For people suffering from chronic pain, the spinal cord, which acts as a kind of filter for pain signals, is impaired. Led by ETH Zurich Professor Hanns Ulrich Zeilhofer, researchers have now found a way to restore it. Our bodies sense painful ...

How small RNAs enter mammalian cells
(19 Sep 2007)
Mechanism for the in-vivo transport of siRNA
RNA interference, a natural mechanism that inhibits the gene expression of individual genes in eukaryotic cells, is a major topic in modern biology. However, their potential was usable to only a limited extent in mammals because the mechanism for ...

Defeating Anthrax withIts Own Weapons?
(28 Sep 2005)
Vaccine candidate? Researchers synthesize oligosaccharide from anthraxpathogen
Spores from Bacillus anthracis cause a disease called anthrax which affects herbivores such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Humans are only rarely infected. However, it is possible to specially prepare the extremely hardy spores for use as a ...
