At FLI, many actions have already been taken to improve compatibility of family and work. These include, but are not restricted to family-friendly seminar schedules, e-quality…
ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related) and NBS (Niemegen Breakage Syndrome) are key enzymes in the DNA damage response (DDR). Mutations in these genes induce degenerative diseases involving different levels of…
The kinase Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) represents a major signaling hub regulating stem cell maintenance, regeneration, and organismal lifespan by controlling various processes such as protein…
Peripheral nerves (PNs) have a remarkable capacity to regenerate, which depends on both axonal regrowth and dedifferentiation of Schwann cells into remyelinating cells. Aging strongly impairs PN…
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are maintained in quiescent state, which is required to maintain functional HSCs also during aging. Previous work from our team members revealed that telomere…
The pentameric acetylcholine receptor (AChR) on skeletal muscle fibers decodes the contraction signal from the motor neuron. Our previous work revealed that Rer1 is a sorting receptor of the early…
