Better understanding phagocytes
New function of a signal path known from blood pressure research discovered The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in regulating the body’s fluid levels and blood pressure. However, a new signal path in the RAS may also have a substantial influence on immune cells, as a recent study conducted by researchers at the […]

Patients receive a voice in drug development
Researchers participate in European research project with patient preference study The patient perspective is important in all medical research, and particularly in drug development. This is reflected in the European research initiative Patient Preferences in Benefit-Risk Assessments during the Drug Life Cycle (PREFER) in which a research group led by Dr. A. Huber at the […]

A protein makes the difference
Researchers discover that blood vessels can inhibit tumor growth It is well-established knowledge that blood vessels foster the growth of tumors. Preventing the formation of tumors is a standard part of cancer therapy. A study by researchers of the Department of Surgery has discovered a new, surprising role played by blood vessels: under certain conditions […]

Bowel disease: identifying inflammation earlier to act quicker
Researchers test laser procedure to improve precision of examinations for chronic inflammatory bowel disease Around 400,000 people in Germany suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are characterized by recurring inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, which is associated with changes to blood vessels in the intestine. Researchers […]Researchers test laser procedure to improve precision of examinations for chronic inflammatory bowel disease Around 400,000 people in Germany suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Department of Medicine 4 wins grant for supporting patient-centered care in Uganda
About 80% of deaths caused by chronic, non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular or kidney disease occur in low or middle income countries. Patients are often uninformed about causes and treatment options, which can lead not only to a deterioration in their state of health, but also to social exclusion. Improving health education and patient-oriented care […]

Researchers identify mechanism that resolves inflammation
Research team discovers mechanism that stops chronic inflammation Researchers at the Department of Medicine 3 have discovered a new molecular process that reverses chronic inflammation. In a recent study they showed how inflammation can be prevented by an endogenous immune response that is usually triggered by a worm infection. Chronic inflammatory joint diseases such as […]
