Cells live and survive by taking up proteins, recycling and reusing or degrading them. The proteins are located on the cell surface and are transported from here into the cell’s interior. About 80 percent of these membrane…
Although cells are separated from the outside world by a membrane, they can still sense well what is happening around them. They capture hormones and nutrients such as sugar, iron or cholesterol and bring them packed in…
Cell Biology Lecture Series The "Cell Biology Lecture Series" is a joint effort of the Research Groups Affolter, Engel, Hall, Hondele, Rüegg, Schier and Spang to monthly host international speakers to talk about current…
Recycling, the reuse of material, saves energy and resources. No wonder that nature also recycles. In the cells, tiny organelles, so-called endosomes, separate the delivered cellular material into reusable material and…
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…
Prof. Anne Spang on the relocation and recycling competence of cells Sorting out, packing, moving... All this kept Biozentrum employees busy from morning to night in the summer of 2021 and it also plays a key role in Prof.…
