281. New function of “kidney-gene” – WT1 plays a role in the central nervous system and controls movement

The WT1 gene fulfills a central role in the development of a healthy, proper functioning kidney. Mutations in WT1 lead to impairments in kidney development and cause Wilms tumors, a pediatric kidney

282. ImmunoTools Award 2018 for FLI researchers

Every year, the company ImmunoTools announces an award on molecular biology research, the "ImmunoTools Award", for which researchers worldwide can apply. Amongst this year’s winners are Dario-Lucas

283. Cohesin down-regulation drives hematopoietic stem cell aging

Organism aging is characterized by increases in inflammation and decreases in stem cell function. The relationship between these processes remains incompletely understood. Researchers of the Leibniz

284. JenAge (BMBF) - JenAge (BMBF)

JenAge (BMBF) Aging and the development of age-related diseases are extremely complex phenomena. It is now being increasingly recognized that a purely reductionist approach is inadequate to explain

285. Why We Age

Aging does not appear all of a sudden. Instead, it’s a continuous biological process that accompanies us throughout our life, beginning when we are born and ending when we die. Due to the

286. DFG Collaborative Research Centres

The aim for the current, second funding period is the thorough evaluation of treatment strategies to suppress graft rejection to improve the outcome of clinical pancreatic islet transplantation.

287. Sex and diet affect protein machineries (EMBL)

Scientists from EMBL Heidelberg have discovered that the collection of proteins in an animal cell - called the proteome - is substantially affected by both the animal's sex and its diet.

288. Current Projects and Team - Ermolaeva Research Group

Ermolaeva Research Group Current Projects The group uses nematodes and human cells to study alterations of energy homeostasis and lipid turnover during aging. This is done by use of longevity

289. Aggressive tumors - New regulator in breast cancer cells discovered

Our third year PhD candidates Dana Elster published her second first author paper in Nature Communications. Triple-negative breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. Here,

290. New function of “kidney-gene” – WT1 plays a role in the central nervous system and controls movement

The results of the thesis from Danny Schnerwizki have been published in Life Science Alliance. The WT1 gene fulfills a central role in the development of a healthy, proper functioning kidney.
