The oil industry recognized the potential of films and movies early on and, since the start of the 20th century, has attempted to influence society through its own productions. The new book Petrocinema , published by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Stockholm University, shows how closely the nascent film industry was linked to various oil companies. The contributions to the book give an overview of this ambivalent connection and reveal the extent of the oil companies influence in the 20th century.
Without petroleum, there would be no film: In 1910, companies like Standard Oil, Shell and BP gave the fledgling industry a financial push by commissioning productions. Initially, such films were primarily intended to be employee training material or to document the company s history. However, it was not long before their potential was recognised: in 1923, the film The Story of Petroleum was released, the first major infor

Lipids are the building blocks of a cell s envelope - the cell membrane. In addition to their structural function, some lipids also play a regulatory role and decisively influence cell growth. This has been investigated in a new study by scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). The impact of the lipids depends on how they are distributed over the plasma membrane. The study was published in

If plant cells want to move, they need to grow. One notable example of this is the pollen tube. When pollen lands on a flower, the pollen tube grows directionally into the female reproductive organs. This allows the male gametes to be delivered, so fertilisation can occur.
