On the way to light-controlled medicine

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have succeeded in elucidating the structure of specific photoreceptors. With their help, it may be possible to switch cellular activities on and off using light. This capability could…

The cellular superhero that protects us against RNA viruses

Scientists have discovered how the antiviral protein TRIM25 finds and binds viral RNA to activate an immune response. Every second of every day, our body is under attack. The invading…

No significant PFAs emissions caused by waste incineration

Experiments at KIT show virtually no PFAS emissions when household waste containing Fluoropolymers is incinerated according to European standards. In contrast to fluoropolymers, which are also referred to as “polymeric…

New method for producing innovative 3D molecules

A team led by chemist Prof Frank Glorius has synthesised so-called heteroatom-substituted cage-like 3D molecules. The innovative structures could help address key challenges in drug design by serving as more…

A “chemical ChatGPT” for new medications

Researchers from the University of Bonn have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model – a kind of…

Little-studied RNA might be key to regulating genetic disorders like epilepsy, autism

Future studies that manipulate this RNA could help treat neurodevelopmental diseases in humans. Study focused on ‘Goldilocks Gene’ CHD2 that causes autism and epilepsy Deletion of long non-coding RNA CHASERR…
