much smaller than 100 nanometres, i.e. smaller than 100 millionths of a millimetre. By comparison, a human hair is about 70,000 nanometres thick. The tiny particles are easily absorbed into body cells, making
explains Dr. Hensel. Therefore, the observation from the tiny worm can probably also be transferred to humans. There are already approved drugs against SMA. However, they do not work equally well at every point
macrophages. His goal is that lung infections can be cured with the help of phagocytes grown from human stem cells in the laboratory. Professor Lachmann works in the MHH Clinic for Paediatric Pneumology
therapeutic effect of amisulpride was also shown, among other things, in nerve cells differentiated from human stem cells with disease-relevant mutations. "Now, in cooperation with the Neurological Clinic of the

the outer hair cells causes them to convert to inner hair cells." Since the inner ear of mice and humans is similar, the researchers assume that the regulatory pathways are also transferable. The identification
our body cells, spermidine supplementation could also protect against many age-related diseases in humans. Keyword spermidine: Spermidine is an endogenous, natural substance. It was first discovered in male
feature of the resulting iPS cells is their ability to give rise to any functional cell type of the human body. Thus, iPS cells can be used to generate specific replacement cells in a dish, which subsequently
i.e. it inhibits the growth of tumour cells. So before imatinib can be used against biofilms in humans with aspergillosis, its effectiveness as an Agd3 inhibitor would have to be enhanced. "Otherwise
