The Schur lab at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has an open postdoc position for a highly motivated candidate to be part of our ERC-funded project ActinID. Our Group ...

Activation of PLK1, a master mitotic kinase, requires phosphorylation of its activation segment on Thr210, within a basic consensus sequence for Aurora kinases. Aurora B-dependent phosphorylation of T...

It is time to sound the alarm as the EU’s research priorities face an unprecedented degree of political interference.

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) visualizes 3D cellular architecture in near-native states. Recent deep-learning methods (CryoCARE, IsoNet, DeepDeWedge, CryoLithe) improve denoising and artifact cor...

Genome inheritance during cell divisions relies on replicated sister DNAs being connected by cohesin rings. Minamino et al. reconstitute sister chromatid cohesion establishment during DNA replication using purified budding yeast proteins. The experiments yield molecular insight into more than one way in which sister chromatid cohesion can be built.

The ability to generate high-resolution views of cells with cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can reveal the molecular mechanisms of biological processes in their native cellular context. The re...

In memory of George Sheldrick.

With great sadness, we announce the loss of Professor Béla Novák.

The Vienna BioCenter institutes IMP and IMBA will soon host a joint research group headed by Sven Klumpe. The structural biologist will join the two institutes with an innovative double-affiliation to...

Scientists protest new “challenge-led” grants replacing funding that supported long-term basic research

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

TRiC functions at near full occupancy to fold newly synthesized proteins inside cells.

Alves Domingos et al. uncover a non-cell-division-related function for the kinetochore protein KNL-1 in dendrite arborization. They show that KNL-1 regulat
