new header on Micronaut-the blog!

What the hek is this?! Well, it was a lot of work but unfortunately the silly flower seemed not to harbour a single pollen grain at all. So I tried to get close enough to maybe find some nasty bacteria at least -to make the best out of the situation. But what resembles bacteria at first sight turns out to be the smallest pollen grains in the kingdom of plants. Indeed, those marvellous things measure only 4.5µm in length and still hoste the complete male genome safely inside. It's a miracle! © Martin Oeggerli / www.Micronaut.ch, 2009. All rights reserved.

what's up in Professor Rüegg's lab... ?

Raptor, an essential component of mTOR complex 1, determines the metabolic and structural state of skeletal muscles. The image shows a scanning electron micrograph of a cut mouse skeletal muscle. The sample was artificially colorized to visualize the different cellular structures. Connective tissue and extracellular components (white color) surround the muscle, which consists of individual muscle fibers (red). Muscle fiber types, whose distribution is affected in raptor-deficient skeletal muscle, are symbolized by the variation in red. For further information see Bentzinger et al, Cell Metab. 2008.
