PSI researchers have characterised a unique enzyme from bacteria that enables an important chemical reaction.

PSI researchers discover a surprising mechanism that could broaden the spectrum of therapeutic uses of botulinum toxin.

PSI researchers develop a fundamentally new method for early detection of cancer.

Scientists at PSI have used mechanical stimuli to turn connective tissue cells into stem-cell-like cells and transplanted these into damaged skin tissue. This speeds up the regeneration of the skin and the healing of wounds.

PSI researchers take pictures of cell nuclei using modern high-resolution imaging techniques, employ learning algorithms to comb through these data, and thus can more reliably identify anomalies.

Each cell in the human body contains a cytoskeleton. Contrary to what the name suggests, the cytoskeleton is far more than just a support structure.

The cytoskeleton is a little marvel. Probing it promises to reveal, among other things, new possibilities for cancer therapy.

A place for cutting-edge research: PSI researchers to receive comprehensive funding from the US NIH for their brain research.
