Interactions within cells

Category

Cell interaction can be defined as the process by which cells communicate and exchange information with each other, thus ensuring the maintenance of normal tissue function.


Research groups at the MPIMP active in this field:

Young plant in a clear plastic container with nutrient solution.

The overarching goal of the research group led by Prof. Dr. Ralph Bock is to obtain a systems-level understanding of chloroplast and mitochondrial function in the context of the genetic and metabolic networks operating in plant cells. more

Green plant with leaves covered in white powdery mildew, some leaves are wilted.

The independent research group of Dr. Alexander Förderer focuses on the protein structure determination of plant receptors that monitor and mediate responses to environmental microbes. more
