New insights into protein factories in mitochondria
The mitochondrial power plants, called mitosomes, are essential for energy production. Researchers from our institute and the University Medical Center Göttingen have now provided a roadmap for how the human cell assembles them in a modular fashion.
Egg cell maintenance: Long-lived proteins may be essential
Female mammals, including humans, are born with all of their egg cells. Some egg cells therefore survive for several decades – and need to remain functional over this long time. Extremely long-lived proteins in the ovary seem to play an important role in this and may help maintain fertility for as long as possible.
Award-winning young researchers
Ida Marie Astad Jentoft and Panagiotis Poulis from our institute and Yuto Bekki from the MPI for Solar System Research receive the Otto Hahn Medal for outstanding achievements in their dissertations. Jentoft is also honored with the Otto Hahn Award.
