A major international distinction for Leipzig-based obesity research: Prof. Antje Körner has been awarded the Willendorf Award by the World Obesity Federation.

Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos has been awarded the Future Insight Prize 2026 by Merck. The prize recognizes his pioneering contributions to non-invasive health sensing and is endowed with a research grant of €300,000.

When Cytoskeletal Proteins Act in the Cell Nucleus

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can…

FGF21 is primarily known as a metabolic hormone. A new study by researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilians University has now described a previously unknown mechanism through which FGF21 supports cells under protein folding stress:…

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, together with international partners, have developed an ultrathin sensor patch capable of non-invasively monitoring key health parameters in preterm infants. The silk-based patch measures temperature, pH, sodium, and…
