’Conflict and cooperation’: chemistry at the human bacteria interface
Bacteria use chemistry to regulate their interactions with humans - a relationship of "conflict and cooperation" that has co-evolved since the birth of humans. Through the field of "metabolomics," scientists are uncovering new information about bacterial molecules and their potential as the next signals for new drugs to manipulate human responses and the bacteria in our bodies.

New test detects tell-tale danger signs in spinal fluid
Rare cells resembling those previously thought to exist only in the brain have been discovered in the spinal fluid of HIV patients by using a sensitive new genetic test that could provide insights into a host of neurological diseases. In many infected adults, HIV affects the central nervous system and can lead to cognitive impairment in long-term patients, even those in whom the virus has been suppressed.

Marie Heim-Vögtlin Prize 2018: Sara Montagner discovers the epigenetic secrets of mast cells
Epigenetic modifications of our DNA are a key aspect of the normal functioning of mast cells, which play an important role in immune reactions. Biologist Sara Montagner was able to demonstrate this in her work. She will receive this year's Marie Heim-Vögtlin Prize from the SNSF at the award ceremony in Bellinzona on 29 November 2018.

Exploring the matrix to uncover hidden drivers of ovarian cancer
To clump together and form living tissue, cells secrete molecules that create structure. But that structure isn't always healthy, and understanding how it goes bad could reveal more about the way cancer develops. Those molecules, known as the extracellular matrix, do more than simply hold everything together.
