X-ray view of neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers at the University and University Medical Center Göttingen, in collaboration with the Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging and the Collaborative Research Center Mathematics of Experimentation, have found a new way to measure and quantify neuronal tissue architecture in three dimensions and at high resolution. Using their specialized X-ray imaging,

The TFAM-to-mtDNA ratio defines inner-cellular nucleoid populations with distinct activity levels
Authors Brüser C, Keller-Findeisen J, Jakobs S Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Reports 37, 110000, November 23, 2021. Abstract In human cells, generally a single mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is compacted into a nucleoprotein complex denoted the nucleoid. Each cell contains hundreds of nucleoids, which tend to cluster into small groups.

Gene therapy against deafness
One in 500 children is born with hearing impairment, and in 50 to 70 percent of cases a genetic defect is the cause. In a joint research project, a team led by Rüdiger Behr (German Primate Center) and MBExC spokesperson Tobias Moser (University Medical Center Göttingen) in cooperation with scientists

Advanced Data Analysis for Fluorescence-Lifetime Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy
Authors Thiele JC, Nevskyi O, Helmerich DA, Sauer M, Enderlein J Journal Frontiers in Bioinformatics Citation Frontiers Bioinformatics 1, 56, (2021). Abstract Fluorescence-lifetime single molecule localization microscopy (FL-SMLM) adds the lifetime dimension to the spatial super-resolution provided by SMLM. Independent of intensity and spectrum, this lifetime information can be used,
