Free Radical Biology and Medicine Podcast Unlocking Athletic Potential: Exploring Exercise Physiology from Mechanisms to Performance Exercise training involves repeated exposure to increases in metabolic, thermal,…

Regulation of skeletal muscle cell plasticity in health and disease Skeletal muscle has an enormous capacity to adapt to external stimuli including physical activity, oxygen levels, ambient temperature, nutrient availability…

Principles of intracellular organization Asymmetry is an inherent property of most cells. Proteins and mRNA have to be distributed at specific cellular locales to perform their assigned function or to be translated in a…

International Day of Women and Girls in Science February 11th is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This day was declared by the UN in 2015 in order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in…

Stem cells in the adult mammalian brain Stem cells in the adult mammalian brain continuously give rise to new neurons that functionally integrate into circuits in restricted brain regions. They reside in specialized…

How do bacterial injection needles function at nanoscale? During evolution, bacteria have developed a variety of infection tools to infuse proteins and toxins into host cells. One of the methods is the type VI secretion…

Regulators of gene expression from stem cell differentiation to aging Our group is interested in the mechanisms that control gene expression from very early to very late in human life. In eukaryotes, gene expression is a…

Meet Maria Hondele, Professor of Biochemistry February 11th is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Do you think it is important that we celebrate this day? This day is a great opportunity to celebrate the…

Support for Structural Bioinformatics Computational structural biology is an increasingly important multidisciplinary field that uses advanced models and computational techniques to understand and solve complex problems…

Cell signaling and dynamics in bacterial growth, adaptation, and persistence Our studies aim at understanding the molecular and cellular principles involved in the growth, differentiation and behavior of bacterial cells. We…
