We support refugee scientists from Ukraine to continue their scientific work in the field of inflammation research in Erlangen. Based on the German Research Foundation (DFG)-funded Walter Benjamin-Programme, which aims to integrate refugee scientists into the German science system at every stage ...

In the Erlangen Corona Study, comprising more than 2000 subjects, the risk for developing antibodies against the new coronavirus was tested in patients with arthritis, colitis and psoriasis by the Deutsche Zentrum für Immuntherapie (DZI) and Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1181. The results of this study were just published in Nature Communications.

Millions of people in Europe suffer from chronic inflammatory diseases. There is therefore a strong research interest in deciphering the molecular resolution processes of inflammation with the aim to stop inflammation. For three days, international inflammation researchers will engage in interdis...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is extending the funding of the Collaborative Research Centre 1181 (CRC1181) "Checkpoints for Resolution of Inflammation" managed by Prof. Dr. Georg Schett, spokesperson of the CRC1181 and German Centre for Immunotherapy at the University Hospital Erlangen, for a...

A new article from the CRC 1181: Inflammation was recently published in Nature Communications, elaborating on aspects leading to the resolution of inflammation, what happens if this goes wrong and what this has in common with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Inflammation needs energy. This is not least generated from oxygen, which is essential for the cells of the immune system. On the one hand, oxygen is an essential element for the survival of cells, but on the other hand it also functions as a "fuel" for the fire of inflammation.

Erlangen Scientists decipher how dangerous inflammations develop after stem cell transplantation

It is well known that healthy eating increases our general sense of wellbeing. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have now discovered that a fibre-rich diet can have a positive influence on chronic inflammatory joint diseases, leading to stronger bones. The researchers have published their findings in the renowned journal Nature Communications.
