Extensive collaboration between five VIB groups resulted in a better understanding of the machinery that plants use to regulate the protein composition of their…

Cells rely on membranes to protect themselves from the outside world. But these membranes can’t be fully closed because nutrients and other molecules have to be able to pass through. To achieve this, cell membranes have many types of channels and pores.

Extensive collaboration between five VIB groups resulted in a better understanding of the machinery…
