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”.

Obesity causes lungs to age prematurely

—What effects does severe obesity have on the lungs? A research team led by Prof. Dr. Veronika Lukacs-Kornek from the ‘ImmunoSensation2’ Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn and the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Experimental Immunology (IMMEI) at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) investigated this question. The results suggest that obesity causes the lungs to age faster. The findings have been published in the journal ‘Cell Reports’.

How Cell Skeleton Defects Can Teach Immunology

—For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection or form precise, short-lived contacts with other cells, by constantly reshaping their actin cytoskeleton. Genetic errors in the molecular machinery controlling actin dynamics lead to impaired immunity, and often to autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. An overview of the current state of research on immune-related actinopathies, prepared by scientists arround ImmunoSensation² member Prof. Kaan Boztug, has now been published in Nature Reviews Immunology.

Fat cells under false command

—Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn investigated the influence of primary cilia dysfunction on adipocyte precursor cells in a mouse model. They found that overactivation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway causes abnormal development into connective tissue-like cells instead of white fat cells. Their findings have now been published in The EMBO Journal.
