XLAB Science Festival – Holger Stark presents the power of optics and microscopy to the public at the XLAB Science Festival.
Holger Stark, an expert in cryo-electron microscopy, has achieved remarkable success in resolving protein structures by achieving atomic resolution. His talk showed how advances in microscopy have led to a step-by-step revelation of reality that challenges and extends existing model concepts, and often had to overcome initial resistance from established scientists.

Insights into the unique biogenesis of human mitoribosomes
The assembly of human mitoribosomes takes place in modules. This surprising result is the outcome of teamwork by CRC members Ricarda Richter-Dennerlein and Henning Urlaub and the MPI Göttingen. Their study provides a detailed overview of the biogenesis of human mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) and shows that the biogenesis of these ribosomes is characterized by the formation of protein modules that are then assembled onto ribosomal RNA.
In addition to this comprehensive roadmap, the study highlights their evolutionary divergence from bacterial and cytosolic counterparts and provides an answer to the question of how the coordination of two genomes might occur.
