Weizmann Institute of Science
In the end, it's all about making a connection. In their recent study, Prof. Maya Schuldiner and her team from the Weizmann Institute of Science's Molecular Genetics Department uncover for the first time how the cell's Most Valuable Players - the nucleus and mitochondria - communicate through the formation of dedicated contact sites. Being able to tune in on these correspondences will allow scientists to better understand conditions where they are disrupted from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases. These findings join a series of recent discoveries in the budding field of contact site biology, some of which were made in Schuldiner's lab.
