Immunology and Nuclear Medicine

Prof. Gunther Hartmann was interviewed for the magazine “Angewandte Nuklearmedizin” and answered questions about immunology and nuclear medicine.

Dr. Barbara Kreppel from the magazine “Angewandte Nuklearmedizin” interviewed Prof. Gunther Hartmann, director of the Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Pharmacology and founding speaker of the ImmunoSensation2 Cluster of Excellence, on his expertise on immunology and nuclear medicine. 

During the interview, Prof. Gunther Hartmann shed light on emerging trends in the research fields of immune-oncology and autoimmunity, emphasizing the potential of nuclear medicine for the development of diagnostic tools and novel therapies. He gave an interesting perspective on how nuclear medicine advancements could help with cancer therapy and highlighted the importance of nuclear medicine for immune imaging.

The full interview can be found in the latest issue of “Angewandte Nuklearmedizin”.

What Makes Sea Urchin and Salmon Sperm Swim

—A recent study by the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and the University of Bonn shows that pH plays a crucial role in sperm motility in sea urchins and salmon. A rise in pH activates the enzyme soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), which produces the messenger molecule cAMP and thereby regulates sperm movement. This mechanism may be widespread in many marine invertebrates and fish. The findings have now been published in the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Immune cells remember their location

—A new AI-based method reconstructs spatial information about where immune cells were originally located in an organ, even after these cells have been removed from the tissue and analyzed individually. To accomplish this, Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn use the transcriptome, i.e., the entirety of all messenger RNA transcripts produced by genes within a cell at a given time. The work has now been published in the journal Advanced Science and introduces the new MERLIN algorithm.

B cells maintain antigen presentation in the splenic marginal zone

—A team of international researchers, including ImmunoSensation³ members Prof. Niels Lemmermann and Prof. Andreas Schlitzer, shows that B cells support antiviral CD8⁺ T-cell responses beyond antibody production. In a murine CMV model, B-cell deficiency weakened virus-specific CD8⁺ T-cell responses. Mechanistically, B-cell-derived lymphotoxin β maintained CD169⁺ macrophages and Langerin⁺ cDC1 cells in the splenic marginal zone, enabling efficient T-cell priming. The study was published in Cellular & Molecular Immunology.
