    43,000 data points against melanoma

    Every tumor is unique. This makes it difficult to find the most effective therapy for treatment. The Tumor Profiler Center of the University Hospital Zurich, the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and the University Hospital Basel has now carried out a study in which nine different molecular biological technologies were used to precisely measure the properties of the tumor in four weeks and enable a precise treatment decision.

    Fungal Resistance in Wheat: Preserving Biodiversity for Food Security

    Wheat production is threatened by a major fungal disease: yellow rust. UZH researchers have found traditional wheat varieties from Asia that harbor several resistance-conferring genes. They may serve as a durable source of yellow rust resistance in commercial varieties in the future.

    Study Traces Transmission Routes in Largest Diphtheria Outbreak in Western Europe in 70 Years

    In 2022, Western Europe experienced the largest surge in reported diphtheria infections in 70 years. Data from the outbreak point toward transmission routes along established migration pathways into Europe. Rapid interventions successfully contained the outbreak, yet the strains continue to cause new infections in the region.

    Intestinal Bacteria Influence Aging of Blood Vessels

    Researchers at UZH have now shown for the first time that intestinal bacteria and their metabolites contribute directly to vascular aging. As people age, the bacterial composition in their gut changes, resulting in fewer “rejuvenating” and more harmful substances in the body.

    Your Best Friend’s Personality Can Shape Your Own

    Students become more conscientious, open and competitive when they spend time with peers or friends who also exhibit these traits, according to a study conducted at the University of Zurich. It is the first study to systematically explore how students’ personalities are shaped by their peers.

    Live View: Stress-Induced Changes in Generations of Cancer Cells

    Drugs that affect DNA replication, or radiation that causes direct DNA damage, lead to increasingly diverse offspring over multiple cell generations. This increases the tumor’s genetic complexity and facilitates the development of resistance to therapy.

    International Year of Quantum Science

    “We’re in the second quantum revolution”

    Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundation for quantum mechanics at UZH 100 years ago. We met with UZH physicist Titus Neupert to discuss quantum computers, new sensors and the stability of tables.
