Shortly after receiving his doctorate as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, USA, the gastroenterologist began researching the immune system in cell cultures and [...] they communicate with cells of the acquired immune system in the HCC tumor. To do this, samples of human tumor tissue are compared with healthy liver tissue and analyzed to determine which immune cells are [...] response. If the therapeutic approaches work in the mouse model, they could then be tested in a human clinical trial. "This is an ambitious four-year program," Dr. Heinrich admits. "However, we hope to

Now a research team led by Professor Dr. Dietmar Manstein, Director of the Institute of Biophysical Chemistry at Hannover Medical School (MHH), has discovered another reason why people [...] which is formed in the rumen of ruminants, appears to dock well with the motor muscle protein in the human heart. Through food, conjugated trans fatty acid enters the bloodstream either directly or in the

A research team from the Institute of Clinical Biochemistry at Hannover Medical School (MHH) has discovered that the body's own sugar [...] function of our nervous system," says Professor Dr Rita Gerardy-Schahn, the former head of the MHH Institute. In the brain, PolySia also acts in the hippocampus - a kind of switchboard between short-term and [...] process have already been patented The next step for the researchers is to confirm the effect in human cell cultures. "We could then enter the clinical phase," hopes Dr Thiesler. If everything works as

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

A research team led by Professor Dr Evgeni Ponimaskin, a scientist at the MHH Institute of Neurophysiology , has already discovered that signal transmission through a specific serotonin [...] therapeutic effect of amisulpride was also shown, among other things, in nerve cells differentiated from human stem cells with disease-relevant mutations.

So before imatinib can be used against biofilms in humans with aspergillosis, its effectiveness as an Agd3 inhibitor would have to be enhanced. "Otherwise
