Stem cells in the human brain produce far more nerve cells than corresponding cells in mice. Jürgen Knoblich, a researcher at the Vienna Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) found out what mechanisms are…

Constance Richter from the lab of Jürgen Knoblich receives the Kirsten Rabitsch Award for her work "The tumour suppressor L(3)mbt inhibits neuroepithelial proliferation and acts on insulator elements" which was published in Nature Cell Biology…

Stem cells gone rampant cause brain tumors.

Spectacular recent advances in the field of stem cell biology have raised enormous hopes for regenerative medicine. One key property of stem cells is their ability to "self-renew", that is to generate identical copies of themselves while at the same…

As in the last 5 years, the Microsymposium on Small RNAs will take place again at IMBA from Monday 16th to Wednesday 18th of May 2011.

Bacteria like salmonellae infect their host cells by needle-shaped extensions which they create in large numbers during an attack.

This study seeks to define the molecular regulation of epithelial cells during the early steps of cellular transformation using primary cell culture and genetic ablation studies. We have focused on a signaling molecule with hitherto ill-defined…

IMBA researchers explore relationship between cellularstress and carcinogenesis.
