balance. Responsible for this is a mutation in a gene called MYO7A, which Professor Schambach and his team are focusing on. If a person inherits the damaged gene from both father and mother, no healthy variant [...] gene, we need a gene taxi with a large boot, so to speak," says Professor Schambach. The research team therefore uses lentiviral vectors (LV), which can carry a large amount of genetic material without

The focus is [...] glycan." Understanding processes better Using state-of-the-art analytical methods, the MHH research teams now want to uncover which different forms of sialic acid occur and which biochemical processes regulate

As part of her doctoral [...] result of the biopsy, the liver values, the kidney function and other concomitant diseases, the medical team was able to adjust the immunosuppression individually for each patient.
