A team from UNIGE and LMU developed a transport nanoparticle to make an anti-inflammatory drug much more effective and less toxic. How can a drug…
According to researchers from the UNIGE and LMU, the effectiveness of the immune system’s anti-tumor activity and cancer immunotherapies is tied to the time of…
UNIGE researchers have discovered that a medication commonly used to treat herpes can combat an antibiotic-resistant bacterium by disrupting its defense mechanisms. Antibiotic resistance, or…
A UNIGE team has discovered the structure of a protein complex that regulates the activity of the major growth regulator. The mTOR protein plays a…
An EPFL and UNIGE team demonstrates how motivation affects the neural circuits of perception and influences decision-making. Whether we are in a good mood or a…
A Brown University biologist calls for a more balanced view of invasive species. Invasive species, also known as non-native species, have become much more well-known…
Scientists have demonstrated that ketamine causes just a brief increase in dopamine and has no effect on neuronal communication. Ketamine is a common anesthetic in medicine…
For the first time, researchers reveal the origin of neutrinos, elementary particles that reach our planet from the depths of the Universe. Highly energetic and…
A new study published in Heart Rhythm Case Reports highlights how dangerous the improper use of herbal supplements can be. An herbal supplement is a…
