…d insights on how proteins, which are active in the power plants, find their way to their place of work. When biologists want to explain the structure of a cell, they often fall back on the analogy of a city. The nucleus is a kind of city hall, around which numerous institutions and services are gathered. The power plants, the so-called mitochondria…

…p succeeded in using mutants of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) to demonstrate that auxin sluices control the precise distribution of the auxin, thus also steering the plant’s growth and morphogenesis. Not only did the plant researchers confirm a few old postulates of plant physiology on the level of molecular mechanisms, they also laid…

…an expert on mitochondria, the so-called “cellular power plants.” They provide the energy the cell needs to maintain its life-sustaining functions. Pfanner was the first bioscientist in the world to decipher the composition of these cell organelles. However, his research does not revolve exclusively around the structure of mitochondria but also enc…
