331. Paradigm change in cell biology? Protein transport from ER to Golgi apparatus not via COPII-coated vesicles

One third of the proteins essential for life processes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the cell and distributed via membrane vesicles. Sorting of proteins at ER exit sites and

332. Broken signals – changes in communication between muscle stem cells and their niche limits regeneration in old muscles

Muscles have an enormous ability to regenerate, however this decreases during aging. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germany, discovered reasons

336. Broken signals – changes in communication between muscle stem cells and their niche limits regeneration in old muscles

Muscles have an enormous ability to regenerate, however this decreases during aging. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germany, discovered reasons

337. Second level of information on genome - Epigenetic data have enormous potential

The cells of our body all have the same genetic material. Their genome is identical, but the cells are different, because their genes are differently active. Chemical marks on the DNA, for example

338. Healthy fat? Transcription factor C/EBP? positively influences fat storage

Transcription factor C/EBPβ positively influences fat storage

The chronic nutritional and metabolic disease of obesity is characterized by an excessive increase in body fat and its accumulation in tissues. Those who suffer from obesity also have an increased

339. Well-armed – How the absence of a protein could help people better cope with the consequences of a stroke

Astrocytes, small star-shaped cells, play an important role in signal transmission in the brain. Since the protein Ezrin is found abundantly in astrocyte tendrils, it is presumed to play a role in
