Researchers Use Atomic Force Microscopy to Show How Mechanical Forces Control Cell Regulation

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that mechanical forces can control the depolymerization of actin, a critical protein that provides the major force-bearing structure in the cytoskeletons of cells. The research suggests that forces applied both externally and internally may play a much larger role than previously believed in regulating a range of processes inside cells.

PI Collaborate with IMMS and Ilmenau University of Technology to Create Nanopositioning System Using Magnetic Levitation

When a feeling for markets, competence and teamwork ability come together, the user profits. This is currently being proven by a colaboration between PI (Physik Instrumente) in Karlsruhe and IMMS (Institut für Mikroelektronik- und Mechatronik-Systeme) and the Department of Mechatronics of Ilmenau University of Technology. The result of their collaboration is a novel nanopositioning system based on the principle of magnetic levitation.

Cryo-Electron Microscopy Provides New View of Cellular Machinery

The human genome is contained within a vast jumble of DNA. Its 20,000 or so genes are concealed within strings of As, Ts, Gs, and Cs, and each gene must be turned on at the right time and in the right cells. For the first time, scientists have glimpsed the cellular machinery that accomplishes that feat, as it assembles directly on the DNA and readies it for transcription into RNA, the first step in protein production.
