- Fish to help in search for MS drugs
Study by the University of Bonn follows an innovative path in the search for new active substances The zebrafish serves as a model organism for researchers around the world: it can be used to study important physiological processes that also take place in a similar form in the human body. It is therefore routinely used… - DNA guardians out of control
Researchers at the University of Bonn discover mechanism that leads to ANCA-associated vasculitis Our own immune system can become the enemy when mechanisms that are actually protective get out of control. In ANCA-associated vasculitis, excessive inflammatory reactions lead to pulmonary hemorrhages that can be fatal if left untreated. Researchers at the University of Bonn, together… - A new BONFOR Funding Instrument for Technology Development in Core Facilities
The BONFOR Funding Instrument 9 (Technology Development in Core Facilities) is meant to ensure that the Core Facilities of the Medical Faculty can map state-of-the-art and innovative, novel methods. The innovations that are established within the framework of this project-related scientific work are then to be incorporated into the routine work of the Core Facility…. - Elevator helps bacteria to build an invisibility cloak
Study: Bacterial membrane transporter helps pathogens to hide from immune system The transport of substances across the membrane into the cell is linked to specific membrane transport proteins. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn, in collaboration with an international team, have now succeeded in elucidating the molecular structure of… - Call for applications: Pitch Contest of the Medical Faculty Bonn

All you have to do is apply and present your idea at the first ever Pitch Contest of the Medical Faculty Bonn on September 15, 2022. External… - Covid-19: New energy for flagging immune cells
Immune cells do not receive sufficient suitable energy carriers in infected individuals, a study reveals In severe Covid-19 patients, the metabolism produces insufficient amounts of certain energy-rich compounds called ketone bodies. However, these energy carriers are needed by two important cell types in the immune system in order to fight the virus effectively. Perhaps this…
