What happens in the brain after a stroke?

Strokes are one of the main causes of long-term physical and cognitive impairment. A DFG project at the ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ· of Augsburg is researching cellular level processes in the brain following an ischemic stroke, in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. These processes are poorly understood and could be the key to new therapies.

Microbiome study: New method for the correction of bias

Studying bacterial communities, known as microbiomes, is a complex task, which often leads to bias. This can affect the accuracy and validity of scientific and clinical knowledge. Researchers at the chair for environmental medicine at the Faculty of ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ·icine have now developed a standardised procedure to address this problem.

Research reveals the origin of scavenger cells in the vitreous body of the eye

A team led by the Augsburg cell biologist and anatomist Prof Peter Wieghofer has shown that macrophages develop in the vitreous body of the eye as early as the embryonic stage. Up until now, it was assumed that they regularly regenerate from blood cells during the course of life.

Future of cancer detection

Liquid biopsy is a very precise method by which to diagnose cancer, which is much less invasive than conventional tissue sampling. The course of cancer treatment and its success can be comprehensively monitored using this method and tumours treated more accurately. A long-term clinical study at the Faculty of ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ·icine at the ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ· of Augsburg is now focusing on the question of how liquid biopsy can be used in everyday clinical practice. Initial results have been published in the Journal of Laboratory ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ·icine.

New measuring device should improve the development of vaccines

New lipid-based medications like the mRNA vaccine used during the corona pandemic are very sensitive. A measuring device developed at the interface of the Institute of Theoretical ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ·icine and the Institute of Physics at the ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê_ΰµÂ¹ú¼Ê1946$ÓéÀÖappÓÎÏ· of Augsburg can now measure the structure of such medications in a frozen state. This should make for safer storage and enable the development of more stable vaccines. The project is being funded to the tune of €1 million by the Federal Ministry for Economic A/airs and Climate Action and the European Social Fund
