The DFG FOR (“Research Unit”) 2848 “Nanoscale Architecture and Heterogeneity of the Mitochondrial Inner Membrane” coordinated by MBExC member Stefan Jakobs (Clinic for Neurology, UMG/MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences) is funded for another 3 years with 1.3 Million Euros.
Since 2019, the scientists have been working on questions concerning the nanostructure of mitochondria, the power plants of the cell. They want to understand in detail how mitochondria organize their internal structure, which proteins are involved, how different active areas develop in a very small space, and how the mitochondrial interior reacts to external influences.
