How titin affects heart growth

Titin is the largest molecule in the human body – and together with actin and myosin plays a pivotal role in the ensemble of muscle proteins. A team led by Professor Michael Gotthardt from the MDC describes in the journal “Circulation” how mutations in this protein lead to various heart diseases.

A life for science

Professor Heinz Bielka, a pioneer of cell and molecular biology, celebrated his 90th birthday on March 19. The MDC congratulates the cancer researcher, science historian, and committed Buch citizen. From 1953 until his retirement, Bielka served in important positions on the campus. Since its founding in 1992, he has been a dedicated supporter of the MDC. As a chronicler, he has cultivated an awareness of medical research and the great history of science on the Buch campus.

Enigmatic loop in the genome

The regulation of genes is incredibly complex – and even a bit more complex than was previously thought – shows a new study in “Molecular Cell”. In the genes which determine the fate of every cell, a splitting of the DNA double helix is not a reason for cellular despair, but is part of an important safety mechanism.
