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

Central Hub for Heart Repair Discovered Bonn study: Heart muscle interaction enables cardiac regeneration in the neonatal heart

—Researchers at the University Hospital of Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have identified a previously unknown signaling pathway in the immune system that helps newborn heart cells survive and regenerate after injury. The findings could open new avenues for future therapies aimed at repairing damaged adult hearts after heart attacks or chronic cardiovascular disease. The study has now been published in the journal Cell Communication and Signaling (Springer Nature).

Malaria Causes Permanent Damage to Phagocytes in the Spleen

—Macrophages formed in the bone marrow can only assume the function of embryonal phagocytes, or “scavenger cells,” to a certain degree according to a study by the University of Bonn and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at the University of Melbourne. The researchers have demonstrated that malaria infection causes permanent damage to resident CD163 macrophages in the spleen, which are responsible for cleaning the blood, recycling iron and communicating with other cells involved in the body’s immune response.
