Flipping an “epigenetic switch” on a single gene can turn memories on and off. EPFL scientists used #CRISPR tools to precisely control memory expression in mice, a first in the field. This could pave the way for new approaches to memory-related disorders.

A new computational method developed at EPFL, @unil and @CHUVLausanne creates synthetic receptors to boost T cells against solid tumors. These "T-SenSERs" sense the tumor environment and convert inhibitory signals into activating ones. #immunotherapy

How cancer exploits a primate protein to control DNA stress https://t.co/N69ZSG9JK8
#epfl
actu.epfl.ch
EPFL scientists have uncovered how cancer cells exploit a primate-specific epigenetic modulator, ZNF93, to regulate a mutagenic enzyme, APOBEC3B, which can both fuel and threaten tumor growth.
