Organelle-specific targeting of polymersomes into the cell nucleus

Organelle-specific nanocarriers (NCs) are highly sought after for delivering therapeutic agents into the cell nucleus. This necessitates nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) to bypass nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). However, little is known as to how comparabl ...

Spatial control of nucleoporin condensation by fragile X-related proteins

Alessandro Berto

Nucleoporins (Nups) build highly organized nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) at the nuclear envelope (NE). Several Nups assemble into a sieve-like hydrogel within the central channel of the NPCs. In the cytoplasm, the soluble Nups exist, but how their assembly ...

The social nature of mitochondria: Implications for human health

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Sociality has profound evolutionary roots and is observed from unicellular organisms to multicellular animals. In line with the view that social principles apply across levels of biological complexity, a growing body of data highlights the remarkable socia ...

Extensive and diverse patterns of cell death sculpt neural networks in insects

Pavan P Ramdya, Chin-Lin Chen

Changes to the structure and function of neural networks are thought to underlie the evolutionary adaptation of animal behaviours. Among the many developmental phenomena that generate change programmed cell death (PCD) appears to play a key role. We show t ...

Buckling instabilities and spatio-temporal dynamics of active elastic filaments

Tobias Schneider

Biological filaments driven by molecular motors tend to experience tangential propulsive forces also known as active follower forces. When such a filament encounters an obstacle, it deforms, which reorients its follower forces and alters its entire motion. ...

Scratching the Surface: Bacterial Cell Envelopes at the Nanoscale

Georg Fantner

The bacterial cell envelope is essential for viability, the environmental gatekeeper and first line of defense against external stresses. For most bacteria, the envelope biosynthesis is also the site of action of some of the most important groups of antibi ...

New insights on the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils using cryo-electron microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira

Fibrils of alpha-synuclein are significant components of cellular inclusions associated with several neuropathological disorders including Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies. In recent years, technological advances i ...

Understanding the effects of material properties and operating conditions on component aging in polymer electrolyte water electrolyzers

Ugljesa Babic, Mohamed Tarik, Thomas Justus Schmidt

If polymer electrolyte water electrolysis (PEWE) is to penetrate the energy market in the context of power-to-x, challenges related to component durability need to be understood and addressed. In this study, PEWE component degradation mechanisms are induce ...

Photoactivatable Silicon Rhodamines for Super-Resolution Microscopy

Michelle Susanne Frei

Fluorescence microscopy is the method of choice to monitor dynamic processes in living cells due to its non-invasive nature. A variety of different fluorophores and labeling systems are currently used to selectively visualise structures or biomolecules of ...

Infrared nanospectroscopic mapping of a single metaphase chromosome

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Ewelina Wioletta Lipiec

The integrity of the chromatin structure is essential to every process occurring within eukaryotic nuclei. However, there are no reliable tools to decipher the molecular composition of metaphase chromosomes. Here, we have applied infrared nanospectroscopy ...
