Entwicklung von innovativen therapeutischen Konzepten

Ancient viral remnants embedded in the human genome may be an overlooked driver of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Michelle Vincendeau at Helmholtz Munich is investigating how so-called endogenous retroviruses influence disease-relevant mechanisms in human…

Healthy gut bacteria concept with natural probiotics for immune support.

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. Led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU), Aix Marseille University, Inserm, and…

Research into a novel form of cell death is entering its next phase and could soon help reduce complications after heart attacks or organ transplants. The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR) is providing continued support for…

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides the first molecular…

A new study reveals how two key molecular players – the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and TRAF6 – work together to fine-tune immune signaling in T cells. Published in Nature Communications, the research from the group of Prof.…

How do biomolecules breathe? This question guided the recent international symposium “Ultra-Highfield NMR and 4D Structural Biology – From Mechanisms to Therapies”, hosted by the Bavarian NMR Center (BNMRZ), a joint infrastructure of Helmholtz Munich…
