New active components, such as antibodies, are often evaluated separately in laboratory animals. Researchers at UZH have now created a method that can test up to 25 antibodies in a single mouse. This could not only accelerate the research and development pipeline for new pharmaceuticals, but also significantly reduce the number of experimental animals needed.

Bioreactors are specialized containers that allow the controlled development of cells, enzymes, or microbes. Environmental engineering, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals are just a few of the disciplines in which they are essential. What is a Bioreactor? A bioreactor is an equipment or container that offers a regulated setting for biological processes […]
Utilizing reduced Takumi-shaped DNA nanostructures, researchers create optimal DNA hydrogels with possible biological uses.
According to the researchers, these recurring patterns suggest potential therapeutic targets meant to prevent or slow the progression of cancer.
Although embryonic cells exhibit amazing adaptability at this dynamic stage of early development, it is still unknown what molecular mechanisms and variables govern this plasticity.
Researchers at the University of Würburg (JMU), under the direction of Professor Claudia Höbartner, have recently discovered the three-dimensional structure of SAMURI, a particularly unique ribozyme.
A cell’s morphology and form are crucial to its biological function. This is in line with the “form follows function” theory that is prevalent in contemporary architecture and design.
The codon chart is an important tool in the fields of molecular biology and genetics, allowing the translation of the genetic code into specific amino acids, creating the basis for protein synthesis in all life forms. The interpretation of the codon chart implies comprehension of the structure of genetic material […]
The genetic flaw causing the immunological condition chronic granulomatous disease can be fixed with the CRISPR technique. But now, scientists from the University of Zurich have demonstrated that there is a chance of unintentionally adding further flaws.
The spliceosome has up until now remained elusive and unexplored in human biology due to the vast number of components involved and the complexity of its function.
