Christoph Dehio newly elected member of the Leopoldina

Christoph Dehio, Professor for Infection Biology at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, has been elected member of the renowned German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in July 2010. Christoph Dehio is investigating the molecular basis of pathogen-host cell interaction ... Whole Text

Flexible and redundant roles of Pax genes during early evolution of animals

A study in jellyfishes uncovers the diversity of the Pax transcription factors that are involved in a variety of developmental processes, including eye development. The authors propose that in the ancestral animal eye, which is likely to have evolved in the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians, different classes of Pax genes were redundantly recruited and may then have been flexibly selected in distinct animal lineages for their roles in eye development ...

Divide et impera - approach to identify the sole ruler

A well-defined question tackled with a combined investigative approach has led to straightforward interpretation: the length of the injectisome needle from Yersinia is controlled by just one molecular ruler protein YscP. This conclusion of Guy Cornelis’ group was made possible with a combined genetic and mathematical modeling approach ... Whole Text

The International Society of Magnetic Resonance (ISMAR) has established a Fellowship to identify the highest achievers in magnetic resonance. Lately, six new fellows were elected on the basis of their contribution to the field of NMR, among them is Stephan Grzesiek ... Whole Text

Thinking Outside the Square – With Computational Aids

"Regulation and Control in Biological Systems" was the theme of this year’s Basel Computational Biology Conference that took place on June 24 and 25 at the Conference Center Basel. The event, sponsored by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB), SystemsX.ch and the Biozentrum, attracted researchers from all over the world with an eclectic scientific program ... Whole Text

The Protein Pentagone Regulates Morphogen Signalling in Fly Wings
Georgios Pyrowolakis from the University of Freiburg, Markus Affolter from the Biozentrum Basel and their colleagues from the University of Cologne have been able to show how the spread of a particular morphogen is regulated by the protein Pentagone, through investigating the development of insect wings ...
