Exploring Cutting-Edge Biological Signalling Research in Freiburg

The Lord Mayor of Freiburg, Martin Horn, recently embarked on a visit to the renowned Signalhaus Freiburg, a symbol of research excellence housing the Clusters of Excellence BIOSS (Biological Signalling Studies) and CIBSS (Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies). Accompanied by Ms....

2 new DFG research units at the University of Freiburg

The research units are aiming to reveal the potential of enzymatic catalysis and investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie bladder cancer.

First joint Open Day of CIBSS and BIOSS

In June, the two Freiburg signalling research centres CIBSS and BIOSS gave visitors insights into current research topics.

Meristems are centers of cell proliferation with a defined internal structure that is perpetuated throughout a plant's life although its constituent cells constantly change. When progressing from stem cell state towards differentiation, individual cells adopt developmental programs according to their current position within the meristem provided by signals from neighboring cells. Progress has been made in the identification of signaling pathways and their integration into mechanistic networks.
