The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they ...

In this webinar, Stefano Maffini will share multidisciplinary methods for dissecting mitotic molecular mechanisms.

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

By decoding the rules that govern protein interactions, Diss and his team hope to develop predictive models to better understand how mutations contribute to disease. For example, he says ...

In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and type 2 diabetes, harmful protein aggregates and deposits, known as amyloid plaques, develop.

Proteins are the molecular building blocks and engines of the cell, and are involved in practically all life processes. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry investigate the ...

For example, patients with type ... Professor of Peptide Biochemistry at TUM, has now succeeded in inhibiting the formation of protein aggregates in Parkinson's disease with the help of so-called ...
