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”.

Making Cancer Cells More Predictable: PRECISE Aims to Forecast Therapeutically Actionable Vulnerabilities

—Which genes and signaling pathways does a cancer cell require to survive? And which of these could serve as therapeutic targets? The pan-European initiative PRECISE aims to identify such vulnerabilities not only through labor-intensive laboratory experiments but also by predicting them using computational models. The UKB and the University of Bonn, represented by Prof. Dr. Maximilian Billmann and Prof. Dr. Jonathan Schmid-Burgk, are among the founding partners of the consortium. The scientific vision of the initiative has now been published in a commentary in Nature Genetics.

Focus on the Guardians of the Antibody Response

—For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr cells) play a key role in this process by limiting excessive immune responses and helping to maintain immune tolerance. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have now developed a robust laboratory method that allows Tfr cells to be generated from precursor cells and studied in a targeted manner. The results were recently published in the journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology.

When the map needs an update

—Every time we move through a familiar environment, the hippocampus consults an internal map, a detailed spatial representation that is built up through repeated experience. But what happens when something unexpected occurs on a well-known route? Researchers at the UKB and the University of Bonn were able to demonstrate in a mouse model that the brain does not redraw its maps from scratch. Instead, it annotates them: preserving the underlying spatial layout while overlaying new information on top of the existing map. Their findings have now been published in the journal PNAS.
