Immune cells with a dual role: switching between protection and attack

Rsearchers show that a certain type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches

03-Mar-2025 - As part of the innate immune system, dendritic cells are part of the body's first line of defense against infections. They recognize pathogens and coordinate the immune response. An international team led by Professor Barbara Schraml from LMU's Biomedical Center has now comprehensively ...

How cells generate heat by burning calories

“People who train their brown fat through regular cold exposure are thinner and less prone to developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases”

18-Sep-2024 - Special fat cells known as brown adipocytes help maintaining body temperature by converting calory-rich nutrients into heat. This protects from gaining excess weight and metabolic disorders. An international team of researchers led by Professor Alexander Bartelt from the Institute for ...

Brain-heart axis: strokes change epigenetics of immune system

Heart condition because of stroke? A new study discovers why this can happen – and how we can counter it in future

24-Jul-2024 - A stroke not only causes acute damage to the brain, but can also have long-term health implications for other organs – such as the heart. “However, there has been little research to date on the effects of brain injuries on systemic immunity,” says Professor Arthur Liesz from the Institute for ...

Key mechanisms identified for the regeneration of neurons

Researchers have shown how glial cells are reprogrammed into neurons via epigenetic modifications

04-Jul-2024 - Neurological disorders, such as trauma, stroke, epilepsy, and various neurodegenerative diseases, often lead to the permanent loss of neurons, causing significant impairments in brain function. Current treatment options are limited, primarily due to the challenge of replacing lost neurons. Direct ...

Good sleep stimulates the immune system

Researchers have shown that sleep enhances the migratory potential of T cells toward lymph nodes

12-Mar-2024 - Sleep is healthy – this popular knowledge is backed by science. Previous research had already shown that in people who slept after a vaccination, the immune response was twice as strong on average as in people who did not sleep during the night after the vaccination. However, the cell biological ...

Possible trigger for autoimmune diseases discovered

B cells teach T cells which targets must not be attacked

28-Feb-2024 - Immune cells must learn not to attack the body itself. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism behind this: other immune cells, the B cells, contribute to the "training" ...

Key factors identified for regeneration of brain tissue

Researchers demonstrate in a zebrafish model that two proteins prevent scar formation in the brain, thereby improving the ability of tissue to regenerate

28-Nov-2022 - Whereas cells regularly renew themselves in most endogenous tissues, the number of nerve cells in the human brain and spinal cord remains constant. Although nerve cells can regenerate in the brains of adult mammals, as LMU scientist Professor Magdalena Götz has previously shown, young neurons in ...

Secret structure in the wiring diagram of the brain

Researchers discover a hidden order in seemingly random connections between neurons

19-Oct-2022 - In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University Medical Center Mainz and the ...

Complex patterns: building a bridge from the large to the small

A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales

23-Aug-2022 - For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally correct formation of biological patterns is essential. To understand these processes, the principal task consists not in explaining how patterns form out of a ...

Catabolic Processes in Cells: Controlling the Danger Within

How cells protect themselves from their defective trash cans

08-Jul-2022 - Trillions of cells in our body work non-stop to keep us alive. This generates waste that is decomposed in specialized cellular organs. But what happens if the cellular trash cans don't work? Researchers assume that this is the cause of numerous diseases. Biologists at the University of ...
