Light switch makes cancer vulnerable to attack

A light-activated molecular switch makes dormant tumor cells treatable again

17-Jun-2026 - Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a molecular switch that is controlled by light. It wakes lung cancer cells up from a protective dormant state so that they are more accessible for treatment. Tumour cells can lapse into a sleep-like state and thereby evade the destructive effect of ...

Fat cells store memories of obesity in their cell nucleus

20-Nov-2024 - Anyone who has ever tried to get rid of a few extra kilos knows the frustration: the weight drops initially, only to be back within a matter of weeks – the yo-yo effect has struck. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show that this is all down to epigenetics. Epigenetics is the part ...
