Europe is a top destination for many researchers

ImmunoSensation2 Scientist, Dr. Bernardo Franklin was feature in a Nature article entitled "Europe is a top destination for many researchers". The article interviewed scientists from different parts of the world who are working in the EU.

“Science is not a recognized profession in Brazil, where I come from,” says Bernardo Franklin, an immunologist at the University of Bonn in Germany. “In Germany, PhD students are given working contracts, with regulations that provide them with insurances, pension and other benefits, and protect them from exploitation and abusive supervisors.”

Decoding the Effects of Obesity

A group of innate immune cells known as group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are essential for maintaining a healthy metabolic balance in adipose tissue. Obesity significantly impairs the number and function of ILC2s. How ILC2s are disrupted by obesity has so far remained unclear. Researchers from the UKB and the University of Bonn have now shown in obese mice that acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, a key enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis, is a crucial regulator of the maintenance and function of ILC2 immune cells in adipose tissue. The results have now been published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

How Far Do Signalling Molecules Act Beyond the Boundaries of a Synapse?

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is establishing a new Research Unit entitled “Inside and Outside the Synapse: Challenging Dogmas of Synaptic Signalling and Neuromodulation.” The research consortium is headed by Prof. Christian Henneberger from Bonn University Hospital (UKB) and the University of Bonn, with Prof. Susanne Schoch McGovern, also from the UKB and the University of Bonn. Together with researchers from the UKB, the University of Bonn, the DZNE and the University of Göttingen, they will investigate how signalling molecules transmit information in the brain.
