Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Calcium sensor helps us to see the stars
New insight into how the protein calmodulin interacts with an ion channel in the eye could explain how our eyes achieve remarkable sensitivity to dim light.
Ainsi débute la vision
Des chercheurs du PSI ont analysé ce qui se passait tout au début dans l’œil quand la lumière atteint la rétine.
Utiliser la lumière pour activer et désactiver des médicaments
Des chercheurs du PSI tournent un film moléculaire d’un médicament anticancer doté d’un interrupteur. Cela ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour les développeurs de substances actives.
