Study reveals that a major membrane transport route into the cell – called clathrin-mediated endocytosis - sorts proteins but not lipids. Lipids use different routes instead.

Study finds that bats most likely originated in Europe around 65 million years ago, before spreading across the world. 30 bat genomes for the study were sequenced at MPI-CBG. 

Proposal for embedded ethics, based on dynamic dialogue, to facilitate ethically responsible research with stem-cell-based embryo models.

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale.

By altering the growth environment, the Huch lab at MPI-CBG has developed a liver model that extensively mimics the heterogeneity of the real organ.

Research project of the TU Dresden together with MPI-CBG investigates the effects of weightlessness on liver tissue

A new study reveals how embryos harness a physical instability in the cytoskeleton, together with precise cell-cycle timing, to reliably self-organize their cytoplasm.

Dresden researchers develop novel methods to create acinar cells, which are involved in the formation of pancreatic cancer.

Researchers found that the shape of the fluid-filled cavities in the developing pancreas is controlled by pressure and the rate cells divide.

Scientists from the Brugués group at PoL have discovered a new mechanism for how early embryos with large yolks undergo cell division, altering our view of the process.
