Detailed measurement of how the motor protein kinesin-1 (red) walks on microtubules (white). Tracking of the 2D movements of individual kinesin-1 dimers (color coded on the sketch) at physiological ...

The puzzle of memory has intrigued philosophers and intellects for a very long time. Plato and Aristotle believed that memory was found only in the realm of the soul and the mind, but there was ...

This press release is also available in German. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden, along with a colleague from the University of ...

I am interested in the physics of cell division and related biophysics. Specifically, I would like to understand how the localization and movement of motor proteins impacts mitotic cell division.

Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...

Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a super-resolution microscope with a spatio-temporal precision of one ...
