The RTG welcomes Sabine Müller as a guest speaker on Wednesday, 15th January 2020. Titel: "Molecular mechanisms of cellular morphogenesis in plants”  Control of cell morphology is a fundamental property of life, essential to the form and function of all organisms. Polarized cell division and c...

The RTG welcomes Daniel Huster as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 10th December 2019. Titel: "Small Molecules Modulate the Properties of Cholesterol-Containing Membranes”  Cholesterol has been known to play a decisive role in biological membranes. In the talk, I shall be discussing specific molecu...

The RTG welcomes Andreas Heuer as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 22nd October 2019. Titel: "Formation of membrane domains: insight from simulations on different coarse-graining levels”  The understanding of domain formation in lipid membranes is challenging due to the large time and length scales...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are key players in the immune system as they orchestrate the initiation of immune responses, but also the induction of tolerance. DC signaling response and the host recognition of invading pathogens primarily rely on receptors that are highly expressed on the cell surface of DC...

The RTG welcomes Ivo Feussner as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 16th July 2019. Titel: "Sphingolipid desaturation in Arabidopsis thaliana and Physcomitrella patens evolved independently”  In plants, adaptation to low temperature is a central mechanism for survival. It involves the modification of...

The RTG welcomes Markus Sauer as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 2nd of July 2019. Titel: "Super-resolution microscopy by dSTORM: From concepts to biomedical applications”  Super-resolution microscopy by single-molecule photoactivation or photoswitching and position determination (localization mic...

June 2019. The study characterizes the structure and dynamics of phospholipid bilayers close to phase transition employing atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations recover not only the well-studied first-order transition with discontinuities in the area per lipid or membrane thickne...

The RTG welcomes Esther Zanin as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 18th of June 2019. Titel: "Patterning cortical contractility during animal development”  During the development and lifetime of an organism trillions of cell divisions occur. During cell division the contractility of the actin cytosk...

The RTG welcomes Ingela Parmryd as a guest speaker on Tuesday, 4th of December 2018. Titel: “The organisation of the plasma membrane“ We study the relationship between ordered plasma membrane nanodomains, known as lipid rafts, actin dynamics and the cellular environment in live T cells. Lipid raft...
