Funding for Maximina Yun and Steffen Rulands to explore the role of regeneration in aging

Study finds genome loops don’t last long in cells; theories of how loops control gene expression may need to be revised.

Comprehensive genome analysis sheds light on nutrition and evolution of vampire bats

International team of researchers show how insulin in alpha cells in the fruit fly Drosophila ensure proper development when food is scarce.

The Yun group at CRTD and MPI-CBG identifies a protein determining positional identity in cells.

Dresden researchers show that gelation enables the correct architecture of the mitotic spindle.

Dresden researchers explain how liquid-like protein droplets collectively read DNA regions to switch on genes.

New study identifies two genes, previously reported to be involved in cancer, as regulators of the metabolic state of the liver. Alterations in these genes influence the likelihood of developing fatty liver disease.

Researchers have found where and how mRNA arrives in a cell to modify or deliver genetic information, a crucial process for the development of novel therapies.
