The extensive somatic diversification of immune receptors is a hallmark of higher vertebrates.
However, whether molecular diversity contributes to immune protection in invertebrates is …

Extracellular signals regulate protein translation in many cell functions. A key advantage of
control at the translational level is the opportunity to regulate protein synthesis within specific …

The production of ribosomes constitutes a major biosynthetic task for cells. Eukaryotic small
and large ribosomal subunits are assembled in the nucleolus and independently exported to …

The availability of peptide and protein components that fold to defined structures with tailored
stabilities would facilitate rational protein engineering and synthetic biology. We have …

An ability to design peptide-based nanotubes (PNTs) rationally with defined and mutable
internal channels would advance understanding of peptide self-assembly, and present new …

We describe de novo-designed α-helical barrels (αHBs) that bind and discriminate between
lipophilic biologically active molecules. αHBs have five or more α-helices arranged around …

With the advent of bioconjugation chemistry in the last two decades, highlighted by the
Nobel Prize 2022, the quest for possible novel applications has been greatly intensified, …

An ability to control the assembly of peptide nanotubes (PNTs) would provide biomaterials
for applications in nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Recently, we presented a modular …

The paper at hand presents a definition of autonomous intralogistics systems and a
classification of intralogistics systems with regard to their degree of autonomy. Intralogistics− a …

Axonal branching contributes substantially to neuronal circuit complexity. Studies in Drosophila
have shown that loss of Dscam1 receptor diversity can fully block axon branching in …
