Our body is made up of a wide variety of cells with the most diverse functions. Irrespective of being heart, liver or nerve cells, however, they all contain the same genetic information. The reason why cells develop…
The Ambizione fellow Dr. Janani Durairaj , project leader in the research group of Prof. Torsten Schwede, will study the protein universe of viruses in more detail. Viruses have evolved diverse pathogenic mechanisms and…
The origin of every cell of our body is a single cell, the fertilized egg. On the way to become a specialized cell, whether blood, heart or nerve cells, its descendants follow a genetic program. This program determines the…
Prof. Silvia Arber explains how neurons control our movements All motor behaviors of the human body are controlled by neurons in the brain. Silvia Arber's team investigates how neurons build networks, how they control our…
Cilia perform numerous functions for the cell: they help cells swim, move fluid, and send messages to each other. Cilia ensure that we can see, they remove substances from the lungs, move fluid in the brain, and enable us to…
