The fountain of youth, at least for some cells

ByElmar Endl November 29, 2018January 18, 2023

Recent reports suggest that somatic cell-derived induced neurons (iNs), but not induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons largely preserve age-associated traits such as age-specific DNA methylation patterns, transcriptomic aging signatures and nuclear lamina-associated changes. Michael Peitz, manager of the Cell Programming Core Facility, co-directed a study which adressed a key question: Are age-associated epigenetic and transcriptional…

BCL11A: Evidence for neuroprotective effect

Byjanka September 14, 2021May 12, 2022

Researchers at the University of Bonn investigate the role of the transcription factor for dopamine-producing neurons The neurotransmitter dopamine influences the activity of a wide variety of brain areas. A deficiency of this substance can have drastic consequences: The death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the substantia nigra – a particularly sensitive part of the…

Sperm are masters of tetris packing

Byjanka July 12, 2022July 19, 2022

During sperm production, an enormous amount of DNA has to be packed into a very small space without breaking anything. A central role is played by certain proteins around which the DNA thread is wrapped – the protamines. A recent study by the University of Bonn…
