Nature - Somatic mutations reveal the ontogeny of microglia in human aging

A new study led by LMU biomedical scientist Stefan Stricker increases protein production in a targeted manner – with new insights into stem cell biology and disease-relevant processes.

Researchers from the Becker Lab show that when the vital regulation of equal gene expression of the sex chromosomes in Drosophila is disabled, cultured cells regain their fitness by reversibly adjusti...

Markus Sperandio and Daniela Maier-Begandt investigate how neutrophils are guided from the bloodstream into inflamed tissue and how bacterial pathogens manipulate neutrophil function.

New research shows how cells repair damage to their outer membrane, revealing a key role for proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers around Edgar Meinl and Simone Mader have identified a new type of harmful antibody that may cause cerebellar ataxia, a neurological disorder that affects balance, coordination and movement...

Diversity in research and talent promotes excellence in science.

Researchers around Axel Imhof have precisely tracked for the first time how molecular marks on DNA proteins change during cell division – and disproved a long cherished assumption in the process.

A team led by Axel Imhof, Philipp Korber and Christoph Kurat shows that the structure of DNA is organized to facilitate cell division at exactly the right moment in the cell cycle.

Dr Belén Pachano, postdoctoral researcher in the Siegel Lab, has been awarded the prestigious European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellowship.
