Wer in der Zelle fuer die Bildung von Proteinen zustaendig ist, ist dank der zellbiologischen Forschung bereits bekannt. Aber wie diese Proteinfabriken (Ribosomen) innerhalb der Zelle organisiert sind, ist bisher nicht umfassend erforscht. Kuerzlich ist es Wissenschaftlern am Max-Planck-Institut fuer Biochemie gelungen, das Innenleben einer intakten menschlichen Zelle mittel Kryo-Elektronentomographie dreidimensional abzubilden.
