Yesterday mkw.nrw minister Ina Brandes visited us and gained insight into our research "The MPI conducts important #basicresearch, for example to better understand the function of our heart and thus make a decisive contribution to our health"

Congrats- this is a great achievement!

Our latest work on #actin assembly is now online Science Magazine! We show how #formins bind and move with the growing barbed end of F-actin. Awesome collab. between Stefan Raunser and Bieling labs MPI Dortmund, and big thanks to co-first author Micaela Boiero Sanders science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Curious about the molecular mechanism of #actin elongation by #formins? Then check out our latest work in Science Magazine! This was possible due to outstanding team effort. Big thanks to co-first author Wout Oosterheert, Bieling lab and @intein MPI Dortmund science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

"One Ring to rule them all": Researchers from the groups of @peterbieling & Stefan Raunser Max Planck Society unveil at the molecular level how ring-like formin proteins promote actin filament growth in cells. ➡️mpi-dortmund.mpg.de/en/news/how-ac…
