Cell and Tissue Biology

Groups in the research area Cell and Tissue Biology focus their research on

• Tumour Microenvironment and Signalling Pathways (Abraham/Zins),
• Cellular Membrane Systems such as the Golgi apparatus, nanotubes and autophagosomes (Ellinger),
• the roles of the Secretory Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis (Schmidt, K.),
• the biology of Trophoblast Stem Cells (Latos),
• the effects of Chromatin Modifications on the Homeostasis of the Epidermis (Seiser),
• the Identification of Novel Mutations in familial autosomal recessive and dominant Orphan Diseases (Lucas), and
• Chromatin Organisation and its influence on gene expression during Differentiation (Schöfer/Snyers/Weipoltshammer).
