The research is multi-disciplinary, combining molecular, biochemical and physiological approaches, together with the use of various microscopy techniques such as electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Read the latest articles of Molecular Cell Biology Research Communications at, Elseviers leading platform of peer-reviewed scholarly. An important example is the biosynthesis of the antibiotic penicillin in peroxisomes of filamentous fungi. The Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology department conducts research and trains undergraduate and graduate students in the science and technology. However, dependent on the organism and developmental stage, a large number of additional metabolic and biosynthetic functions can occur in peroxisomes. The organelles play important roles in hydrogen peroxide metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. Learning outcome Students will know and be able to use relevant methods and techniques in cell and molecular biology research in and independent way. Their importance is stressed by the fact that peroxisome dysfunction in man is lethal. The Department of Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB) is home to Undergraduate and Graduate academic programs as well as Faculty Research performed by faculty. Peroxisomes are very important cell organelles that occur in all eukaryotes. BBA is a set of international journals, encompassing biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, bioinformatics, metabolomics. We mainly focus on the function, formation and degradation of peroxisomes, but we also study mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles. Research in the section is supported by the UMCG, the University of Groningen, and a wide array of scientific organisations (NWO and EU) and charities (the Dutch Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation, the Dutch Brain Foundation, the Dutch Heart Foundation, the Dutch Cancer Society, etc.).Our group performs molecular cell biology research on organelles using yeast as model organisms. The section runs facilities for Drosophila research, offering a variety of disease and aging models, for access to Cesium-137γ-ray, to irradiate of samples, and for molecular imaging, providing state-of-the-art systems for fluorescence and electron microscopy. Our section (and department) has a formal link with the Department of Radiological Oncology. The Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Graduate Program at Stony Brook University offers graduate training in virtually all aspects of modern biological. Diseases studied encompass neurodegenerative disorders, (cardio)myopathies, gastroenterological diseases, dermatological diseases, and malignancies. BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, formerly known as BMC Cell Biology, is an open access journal that considers articles on all aspects of cellular and molecular biology in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

Model systems include yeast, the fruit fly Drosophila, mice, mammalian cells and (patient-derived) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), somatic stem cells, organoids, and organotypic slice models. The Department of Molecular & Cell Biology was established in July 1998 to decipher the genetic, molecular, and biochemical causes of oral health disorders. These include protein homeostasis, protein complex remodelling, and organelle biogenesis and maintenance. Within the section Molecular Cell Biology of the Department of Biomedical Science of Cells & Systems, at the UMCG, several aspects of cell biology are studied.

Fundamental knowledge about cell biological processes is key to understand how genetics or environment affect human health or lead to disease. Molecular cell biology studies how cells and tissues maintain their function, and what can cause their dysfunction. Available for the first time with Macmillans new online learning tool, Achieve, Molecular Cell Biology remains the most authoritative and cutting-edge. Through high-quality research, we aim at identifying and, where possible, at exploiting cellular targets to promote healthy aging and/or treat human disease. Molecular cell biology studies how cells and tissues maintain their function, and what can cause their dysfunction. The research mission of this section is to study basic processes in molecular cell biology to generate novel, fundamental insights related to cellular and organismal fitness.
