Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging” (MBExC) have shown how a minimal change in a single ion channel increases the sensitivity of sensory cells in the inner ear. Even soft sounds, such as a whisper, are perceived more clearly, but

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions. Thousands of cells coordinate, move and exert mechanical forces on each other as an embryo takes shape.

The first Göttingen Expansion Microscopy Forum (GEF25) will focus on the latest advances from a decade since the development of expansion microscopy, which is currently revolutionizing modern biological imaging. The focus will be on the latest developments that make this technique accessible and affordable to all laboratories and thus celebrated

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) are developing a new method to better understand the energy production of human cells. Disruptions in this process lead to serious and often fatal diseases that can affect skeletal muscle and nerve cells as well as the heart. The results have been

The ALLEA award recognizes MBExC member Viola Priesemann, Board Member of the German Young Academy (“Die Junge Akademie”), for her groundbreaking contributions to interdisciplinary science, her exceptional leadership during the pandemic, and her dedication to fostering pan-European collaboration in science, policy, and public health.   Link to the press release

Under the leadership of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), researchers from Göttingen, together with audiologists and artists from the fields of film and music, have translated the sound experience with an optogenetic cochlear implant into image and sound. The music video artistically conveys the restoration of “hearing with light”,
