Cellular organization, physiology & dynamics is a research area focused on understanding how cells are spatially structured, how their molecular components are functionally integrated, and how these features change over time and in response to internal and external cues. It encompasses the study of subcellular compartmentalization, cytoskeletal architecture, membrane trafficking, signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and cell-cycle control. Researchers in this field employ quantitative imaging, biophysical measurements, genetic perturbations, and computational modeling to link molecular interactions and mesoscale structures with emergent cellular behaviors, including motility, growth, differentiation, and responses to stress or pathological conditions.
Researchers at the University of Cologne have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that links two fundamental processes in mitochondria. The team, led by Julia Racho and Dylan Stobbe under the supervision of Professor ...
