An international team led by researchers at the Austrian Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) in Vienna and the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore discovered that genetically determined breast cancer can be largely…

Researchers at IMBA – Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have discovered that an enzyme called HACE1 is the key regulator of the death receptor TNFR1. The TNF receptor 1 is located on the cell membrane and…

Jürgen Knoblich of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) as well as Jan-Michael Peters and Tim Clausen of the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) each receive an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council ERC. That means a…

Creativity, idealism and the ability to think laterally are the most important characteristics of a scientist – and of an artist. These two disciplines have much in common and, because of this, the Vienna Biocenter (VBC) and the Angewandte Innovation…

Madeline Lancaster, former researcher in the laboratory of Jürgen Knoblich at IMBA, was once more acknowledged for the development of the cerebral organoids.

Scientists at the IMBA (Institute of Molecular Biotechnology) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have discovered that the division of mammalian egg cells depends on cohesin proteins that embrace chromosomes before birth and are not renewed…

Julius Brennecke, group leader at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA), has recently received an ERC Consolidator Grant. This is the 34th ERC grant that has been awarded to researchers at the four academic Vienna Biocenter institutes.

Researchers at IMBA presented new insights into the function of the so called heterochromatic bodies in an article published in Developmental Cell this week. Their findings showed that dephosphorylation of an HP1-like protein is required for…

Cardiovascular diseases are among the most frequent causes of death worldwide. The ability to repair a damaged heart is one of the grand visions of medical science. Cardiac regeneration is possible in fish and in newborn mice. But so far it has not…

Scientists in Vienna and Harvard discover a molecular key to boost reprogramming of adult cells into stem cells.
