Second Stem Cell Type Discovered in Mouse BrainHeidelberg neurobiologists gain new insights into formation of nerve cells
“Our discovery that another stem cell type exists in the mouse brain of adult animals throws new light on the processes of neuron formation” emphasises Dr Ciccolini. The human brain has similar stem cells that are involved in the formation of brain tumours. The Heidelberg researchers hope that their work will also shed new light on the development and possible treatment of such tumours. Press release |

Heidelberg researchers identify molecular mechanisms that influence pain processing and sensitivity
The research work was conducted under the auspices of Heidelberg University’s Collaborative Research Centre 1158, 'From nociception to chronic pain: Structure-function properties of neural pathways and their reorganization', whose spokesperson is Prof. Kuner. The results of the study were published in the journal 'Nature Communications'. More.... |

The Department for Molecular and Cellular Cognition Research, at the Central Institute of Mental Health (Mannheim, Germany) is offering a postdoctoral position in molecular mechanisms of memory persistence. The laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms that underlie the formation and maintenance of memory (www.oliveiralab.weebly.com) The successful candidate will work on the elucidation of DNA methylation-dependent mechanisms in memory persistence as well as in the context of psychiatric disorders.

Prof. Jan Siemens' lab is looking for a motivated Doctoral Student with an interest in studying neuronal pathways and cell-molecular mechanisms of pain sensation. Experimental work will include using the mouse as a model system combined with multidisciplinary ex-vivo and in vivo approaches, such as metabolic analysis / metabolic flux measurements, genetic mouse models, behavior experiments and testing of experimental analgesic drug candidates targeting a metabolic signaling pathway.
