Our new intranet / wiki is online!

A new wiki/ intranet for the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation is now available for our member:

https://confluence.team.uni-bonn.de/x/n4hWAQ

Thereby we use Confluence form the University of Bonn, where some Uni institutions (like the HRZ or Human Resources Development) with their areas can already be found.

In our new wiki / intranet information about our funding opportunities; Software and Hardware within the Cluster or important documentes for e.g. travel expenses can be found.

Access to Confluence is available to all employees with an Uni-ID.The access to the area for the cluster is limited, that means you will not see the area in the overview at the beginning.Confluence can be reached via eduroam/bonnet network or by using the Uni-VPN client.

Only after you have registered in the following form and we have activated your account you will have access to our area.

Registration: https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/d070df5

In the attachment you will find an FAQ with all relevant links and details about the requirements for usage as well as further information (for example contents of the area).

If you have any questions or feedback regarding our Confluence area, please feel free to contact us.We are happy if the new wiki is used a lot and we can encourage a good exchange!

Smartphones as Retinal Cameras: New Opportunities for Global Eye Care

—Smartphones could play an important role in the early detection of eye diseases, including in settings where specialized ophthalmic infrastructure is limited. An international team of experts led by the UKB and the University of Bonn has comprehensively reviewed the current global landscape of smartphone-based fundus imaging. The researchers highlight the technical and clinical possibilities that already exist today, identify the limitations of these methods, and outline the conditions that must be met so that smartphone-based retinal imaging can be more widely integrated into screening.

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.
