In the control room for hearing with light
Optical cochlear implants promise to improve the restoration of hearing in hearing loss and deafness. A Göttingen team of hearing researchers around Antoine Huet have now defined for the first time the biologically plausible range of stimulation parameters for the use of the optical cochlea implant in humans.

In vitro reconstitution of chromatin domains
Authors Quililan K, Oberbeckmann E, Cramer P, Oudelaar AM Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2023.02.27.530214. Abstract The spatial organization of the genome modulates nuclear processes, including transcription, replication, and DNA repair1,2. Eukaryotic genomes are organized into distinct 3D chromatin domains3. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive the formation

The multifaceted mitochondrial OXA insertase
Authors Homberg B, Rehling P, Cruz-Zaragoza LD Journal Trends in Cell Biology Citation Trends Cell Biol. 2023 Feb 28:S0962-8924(23)00020-X. Abstract Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and transported into mitochondria by protein translocases. Yet, mitochondria contain their own genome and gene expression system, which generates proteins that are
