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 ...

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 ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria by forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell ("poles"). Despite decades of theoretical work, predicting the protein ...

By forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell (poles), the Min protein system provides protection against ...
