Balancing Life and Death 🧬💀 Check out our latest work on the cell’s executioner protein, MLKL! In its two forms, this protein is the switch from life to necroptotic death. Read more here 🔗: www.biophys.mpg.de/en/news

Have you heard of ferroptosis? 💥 This is the iron-driven, propagating form of cell death! Our Membrane Dynamics Department (@office-garcia.bsky.social) has developed an optical tool to trigger and control it.

Congratulations to IMPRS-CBP student Noemi Iwicki on being selected for the Max Planck Society’s ARTEMIS program! 👏 It supports early-career researchers through bilateral mentorship between MPIs and African institutions. 🌍 🎓🧪 Noemi is looking forward to meeting Taona Emmah Mudhluli from Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼
The photo shows a smiling Noemi Iwicki in a lab coat, with the laboratory in the background. She holds a colourful printout of the African continent and points to Zimbabwe.
