A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our organs healthy.

Differences in cellular pathway activity flip the switch from nocturnality to diurnality and explain a major evolutionary change humans have ...

Researchers have discovered that specific cancer-causing genes associated with leukemias can transform mature white blood cells into leukemic cells that have all the properties of stem cells. The ...
