Signal blocks stem cell division in the geriatric brain

External

UniBas-News-20190828

Scientists from Basel including from the D-BSSE group headed by Dagmar Iber have investigated the activity of stem cells in the brain of mice and discovered a key mechanism that controls cell proliferation. According to the researchers, the gene regulator Id4 controls whether stem cells remain in a state of rest or enter cell division. The results were published in Cell Reports and may be relevant for treating neurodegenerative disease in human brains.

Locarno Talk on the ethics of engineering life

External

Locarno-Talk-2019

On 16 August, at the Locarno Film Festival, D-BSSE Professors Barbara Treutlein and Daniel Müller entered the public discourse on the ethical questions of manipulating cellular systems, tissues and even fully functional embryoids. How far do we want to go when growing miniature embryos in the lab? For whom do we develop the extremely costly therapeutics? How do we achieve an international agreement that regulates the ethics of engineering life? Watch the talk organised by NCCR MSE.
