High-resolution electron microscopy sheds light into the cellular responses to stress

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) has used advanced electron microscopy technologies to capture key cellular mechanisms of stress resistance with near-atomic precision. They were able to show that the protein mHsp60, which helps other proteins to adopt their functional form, remodels its

There is a glimmer of hope for heart patients. A team in Göttingen conducted experiments on a rabbit heart suspended in a nutrient solution. This research sheds light on what happens in the heart muscle during cardiac arrhythmias. Based on these findings, the researchers are developing gentler treatments. © Efimov, Nikolski & Salama, Circ. Res. (2004) / Christoph, Schröder-Schetelig, S.L. (2017)

Clock generator for the heart

Cardiac arrhythmias are one of the main causes of death in industrialised countries. These are often treated with defibrillators, which deliver painful electric shocks. However, physicist and MBExC member Stefan Luther has found a gentler way to stop these arrhythmias. He is now working with industry partners to bring the
