Aggregation of proteins on cell surface triggers rapid uptake and degradation
Using a combination of light microscopy and biochemical assays, Harvey McMahon’s group, in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, have identified aggregation-dependent endocytosis (ADE) as the pathway by which cells respond to surface perturbations.
New computational method for genome analysis
Julian Gough’s group, in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, has designed a computational method for genome analysis capable of making knowledge-based predictions directly from a human genome.
