Kücükköse, Luzarowski and colleagues show that removing a single N-terminal amino acid during the maturation of newly imported mitochondrial proteins globally stabilizes mitochondrial protein complexe...

To enhance the exchange and interaction among people working on biophysics in Freiburg, we are organizing the 2026 Biophysical Coffee Meeting Freiburg, which will take place on October 02, 2026 at the University of Freiburg (R 00 002 Flachbau, Albertstr. 21). The Biophysical Coffee Meeting Freiburg brings together biophysics researchers from across the city for an afternoon of conversation and science. Too often, exciting work happens in parallel across different institutes and departments...

We describe here an efficient method for gene editing in mouse T cells, based on well-established, high-efficiency retroviral transduction protocols. Our platform allows analysis of mutant phenotypes ...

Plants strategically respond to gravity and actively set defined growth angles. These gravitropic set-point angles (GSAs) shape the width and depth...

Kunstdünger braucht viel Erdgas und schadet Klima und Gewässern. Forschende in Freiburg wollen, dass Nutzpflanzen sich mithilfe von Bakterien selbst mit Stickstoff versorgen.

Abstract. Flooding is a major abiotic stress that restricts terrestrial plant growth and survival. A plant tissue’s ability to avoid or sustain critical ox

Taskin, Shankar, Peselj, et al. demonstrate that mitochondria possess an intrinsic surveillance system that senses mild oxidative stress and activates the UPRmt before damage signals reach the cytosol...

Abstract. The Yes-associated protein YAP belongs to the TEAD (TEA/ATTS domain) transcriptional co-activators that shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nuc
