ImmunoSensation leaves X

Due to recent developments, we decided to discontinue our activities on the social media plattform X. With this decision, we follow more than 60 german universities and other research institutions. As a Cluster of Excellence, we see the communication of research and scientific results as well as their discussion as one of our tasks, which is why we did not make this decision lightly. However, X's line is not compatible with the basic values that we represent and also want to live in our communication. These include transparency, constructive discourse and, above all, scientific integrity.

We are looking forward to welcome you on our channels at

Microplastics Cause Fatty Liver Disease in Mice

—Microplastics appear capable of significantly impairing the function of phagocytes in the liver, at least in mice. In turn, this disrupts the metabolism of this vital organ and increases the build-up of fat inside it. These are the key findings from a joint German-Austrian study led by the University of Bonn, details of which have now been published in the journal “Nature Metabolism.”

The Retina as a Window into the Early Detection of Brain Diseases

—The retina is the only part of the central nervous system that can be examined non-invasively and at high resolution in living humans. Dr Christina Mayer and her team at Bonn University Hospital (UKB) and the University of Bonn aim to use this unique feature to detect inflammatory and vascular diseases of the brain earlier and more accurately, and to better understand how they develop. The Corona Foundation is providing €1 million to establish her junior research group. The programme gives outstanding early-career researchers the opportunity to qualify for a university professorship.
