Anne Spang awarded distinction of AAAS Fellow

The jury of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) recognized Prof. Anne Spang's research, “particularly using yeast and nematode models to reveal mechanisms of membrane vesicle sorting, secretion,…


Survival strategy of messenger RNAs during cellular sugar shortage

If a cell encounters a stress situation, whether it is due to nutrient restriction or osmotic shock, the cell reacts immediately to ensure its survival. Prof. Anne Spang’s research group at the Biozentrum of the University…

Anne Spang newly elected member of the Leopoldina

This year, the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has admitted 23 new members to the Class II Life Sciences, including Prof. Anne Spang, who has been conducting research and teaching at the Biozentrum of the…


Cell’s recycling surprisingly efficient

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…


New method: Small cell organelles make it big

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…


Anne Spang receives Lelio Orci Award 2024

The jury recognizes Prof. Spang’s rigorous pursuit of knowledge and novel discoveries regarding the compartmentalization of cellular organelles, proteins, and mRNA. They also greatly appreciated her ambition to study these…


Kiss and run: How cells sort and recycle their components

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…


Cell Biology Lecture Series

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…


Projects

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…
