Prof. Dr. Magdalena Götz has been awarded this year's 150,000 euro science prize by the Hector Foundation. The jury is thus recognizing the neurobiologist's outstanding research achievements.
Researchers around Magdalena Götz from Helmholtz Munich have made strides in direct neuronal reprogramming. This innovative approach transforms non-neuronal cells, specifically astrocytes, into functional neurons. Investigating patient-derived cells,…
The Dynamic Journey of DNA Replication Timing and Its Impact on Cellular Plasticity
The intricate process of duplicating genetic information, referred to as DNA replication, lies at the heart of the transmission of life from one cell to another…
Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the LMU have discovered that, in the case of brain injuries, specific cells in the brain become active in disease situations, exhibiting properties of neural stem cells. The authors further discovered that a…
Sporadic Parkinson's Disease (sPD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to this condition, its role across disease progression remains unclear.…
