How will we live in the future?
Opening of the DRESDEN-concept science exhibition in front of the Dresden Kulturpalast
We are the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)
We do pioneering basic research. 500 curiosity-driven scientists from over 50 countries ask: How do cells form tissues? Our research programs span multiple scales of magnitude, from molecular assemblies to organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms.
@florianjug @PavelTomancak @laurpelletier @JussiHelppi Congratulations 🎊
Basal radial glia are morphologically reminiscent of jellyfish, featured on the cover of the latest issue of @TrendsNeuro. In our Opinion, Wieland Huttner and I discuss the role of basal progenitor morphology for neocortex evolution. @mpicbg @humantechnopole twitter.com/TrendsNeuro/st…

CMCB welcomes the new Rector @tudresden_de !
Prof. Schlierf @Schlierf_Lab gave a quick tour of B CUBE and @James_Saenz managed to interest Rector with membrane biology, talking about why membranes are crucial to life.
Thank you for a lovely visit!

Rhodopsin reduction results in abnormal rhabdomere extension. From a study by Hebbar, Knust et al. @mpicbg titled: Hydroxylated sphingolipid biosynthesis regulates photoreceptor apical domain morphogenesis. bit.ly/3iUaCgp

@mpicbg report a novel role of the happiness neurotransmitter serotonin - to act cell-extrinsically as a growth factor for basal progenitors in the developing human, but not mouse, neocortex. technologynetworks.com/neuroscience/n…

Latest work from lab: Ivona Mateska together with collaborators from the University Clinic @tudresden_de explore the mechanisms of SHH signalling in adrenal glands. @NatalieADye @mpicbg @BIOTEC_TUD rupress.org/jcb/article/21…

@MihailSarov Gorgeous!! Beautiful photo @MihailSarov !
You wish you worked here, right?

Ivona Mateska @mpicbg and colleagues describe a mechanism restricting the range of SHH pathway activation in adrenal gland to cells with ARL13B-positive primary cilia that are in physical contact with SHH-producing cells. bit.ly/3kp27vf

Wondering who is one of the authors of this beautiful Light sheet microscopy image of a zebrafish embryo during gastrulation on @naturemethods? Well, EMBL scientist @gopishah01, project manager of the Mesoscopic Imaging Facility at EMBL Barcelona. 🙌 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our new physics postdoc in the @brugueslab, @mpicbg making Xenpous extract. It's her first time working with a biological system. Love how this place brings together people from different disciplines.

Using #CRISPR-Cas9 to replace the mouse seq of a lens repressor element by the heavily-mutated seq of blind mole rat upregulates the lens gene TDRD7 -> loss of repressor fct. But protein levels are buffered. Great work by @juroscito and @mpicbg facilities. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Scientists have recorded the shortest measurement of time in history: 247 zeptoseconds!🥳That's the time it takes for a #photon to cross a hydrogen molecule. *Note: one #zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second😮 cosmosmagazine.com/science/physic… @goetheuni @desy @fhi_mpg_de
