Immune cells in the liver help pigeons navigate

—How do pigeons find their way home safely over distances of many kilometers? A research team from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Biology has now discovered a previously unknown mechanism: specific immune cells in the liver may help the birds detect the Earth’s magnetic field. The findings have now been published in the journal Science.

Twin Lancet Publications Highlight Promising New Approach for Lupus Treatment

—A team of international researchers, including ImmunoSensation³ member Prof. Jörg Wenzel, reports promising phase 2 results for enpatoran, a first-in-class oral TLR7/8 inhibitor, in patients with cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus (CLE/SLE). In the WILLOW trial, enpatoran significantly improved skin disease activity in a dose-dependent manner and showed favourable safety outcomes. In systemic SLE, treatment also reduced global disease activity and rapidly suppressed the type I interferon gene signature. The twin studies were published in The Lancet and The Lancet Rheumatology.

Driver of inflammation after mild head injury

—Mild traumatic brain injuries can lead to persistent memory problems and an increased risk of dementia. Yet, effective therapies to counteract these long-term consequences are still lacking. Dr. Dr. Sergio Castro-Gomez, Early Career Research Group Leader at the Institute of Physiology II of the University Hospital Bonn has discovered together with colleagues that the ASC protein. The research team hopes to identify new targets for future therapeutic strategies. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, lays the foundation for upcoming clinical trials.
