Werner Wilhelm Franke - Cell Biology

Author Information

Werner Wilhelm Franke is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Helmholtz Group for Cell Biology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) located in Heidelberg, Germany. His extensive research primarily focuses on cell biology, with a particular interest in cell-cell junctions and the molecular components involved in these processes.

Research Contributions

Werner Wilhelm Franke has made significant contributions to the field of cell biology, particularly in understanding the complex structures and functions of cell-cell junctions in various tissues. His work has elucidated the roles of proteins such as striatin and plakophilin in modulating cell adhesion and maintaining the integrity of epithelial and myocardial tissues. Franke's research has also provided insights into the organization of cellular structures, such as the seminiferous tubules in mammalian testes and the lipid droplets in human adipocytes.
