Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides the first molecular…

A new study reveals how two key molecular players – the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and TRAF6 – work together to fine-tune immune signaling in T cells. Published in Nature Communications, the research from the group of Prof.…

How do biomolecules breathe? This question guided the recent international symposium “Ultra-Highfield NMR and 4D Structural Biology – From Mechanisms to Therapies”, hosted by the Bavarian NMR Center (BNMRZ), a joint infrastructure of Helmholtz Munich…

Two new studies published in Nature show that metastatic melanoma and lung adenocarcinoma rely on the protein ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) for survival – identifying a metabolic dependency that may inform the development of new cancer…

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death – also known as apoptosis – is a key protective function of the body. It breaks down cells that are damaged or have undergone dangerous changes. However, cancer cells often manage to override this…

PURA Syndrome Deutschland e.V., a patient organization supporting families affected by the rare neurodevelopmental disorder PURA syndrome, has donated 10,000 Euros to Prof. Dierk Niessing’s research group at the Institute of Structural Biology at…
