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!

As Temperatures Fall, So Does the Risk of Malaria Transmission

—The good news comes with autumn: As temperatures fall, the risk of further malaria transmission in Germany also decreases significantly. However, the current cases reported in the vicinity of Frankfurt Airport show that, in very rare cases, malaria can occur in Germany even without previous travel abroad. In such cases, early diagnosis is crucial.

One Million Euros for Restoring Vision in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

—The Tyczka family of entrepreneurs is supporting research into restoring vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with a donation of one million euros. The funding will support the research project “AI-supported optimisation of vision restoration using retinal implants” at the Department of Ophthalmology at Bonn University Hospital (UKB). The aim of the project is to further develop and optimise the application of innovative retinal implant technology, which recently received European CE marking as a medical device.

New Findings on Information Processing in the Brain

—Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body. Using various advanced microscopy techniques, an international research team has identified tiny, previously overlooked constrictions along the dendrites. The study results have now been published in the journal Science Advances.
