EU-Projekt zu Corona-Impfstoff

Antivirale Wirkstoffe und neue Testmodelle

[16.03.2020] Das neuartige Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) hat weltweit bereits mehrere Tausend Todesopfer gefordert. Eine spezifische Therapie oder eine Schutzimpfung gibt es bisher nicht. In einem jetzt gestarteten EU-Projekt wollen Forschende um die Professoren Jan Münch von der Universität Ulm und Thomas Schrader (UDE) die Entwicklung einer wirksamen antiviralen Therapie beschleunigen.

Schlaganfall-Studie

Erfolgsfaktoren identifiziert

  • 19.02.2020

Schlaganfälle zählen zu den häufigsten Todesursachen in Deutschland. Ein Team um Prof. Dr. Dirk M. Hermann von der Medizinischen Fakultät erforschte in einer dreijährigen Studie die am weitesten verbreiteten Variante: den Hirninfarkt. Die Ergebnisse wurden jetzt in The Lancet Neurology* veröffentlicht.

Neues MERCUR Promotionskolleg startet Präzisionsprotonentherapie

Praxisbezogene Physik und Chemie an der Schnittstelle zur Medizin

[04.02.2020] Als moderne Methode der Präzisionsradiotherapie ermöglicht die Protonentherapie eine sehr präzise Behandlung von Tumoren. Insbesondere können damit Tumore in der Nähe von Risikoorganen und tiefliegende Tumore optimal behandelt werden, und sie setzt sich so von anderen Methoden der Radiotherapie klar ab. Die Grundlagen zur Erreichung der benötigten Präzision sind eine sehr gute Lokalisation des zu bestrahlenden Gewebes einerseits und die genaue Kenntnis der applizierten Dosis andererseits. Die damit verbundenen wissenschaftlichen Herausforderungen liegen an den Schnittstellen von Physik, Chemie und Medizin.

Mehr dazu (Pressemitteilung Mercator Research Center Ruhr)

Das Graduiertenkolleg ist eine Zusammenarbeit in Forschung und Lehre zwischen der Fakultät Physik der TU Dortmund, der Klinik für Partikeltherapie am Westdeutschen Protonentherapiezentrum (WPE) des UK Essen, der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Duisburg-Essen und CENIDE/ZMB Mitglied Stephan Barcikowski (Technischen Chemie I). Das Graduiertenkolleg wird gefördert von dem Mercator Research Center Ruhr (MERCUR).

Zu geringe Dosis mit schweren Folgen Wenn der Hemmstoff aktiviert

© UDE/ZMB

[16.01.2020] Ein Wirkstoff soll eine Reaktion im Körper unterdrücken, stattdessen verstärkt er sie zusätzlich: Dieser Effekt kann zum Beispiel in der Krebstherapie fatal sein, wenn es darum geht, das unkontrollierte Wachstum erkrankter Zellen zu hemmen. Ein internationales Team unter Leitung der UDE hat nun eine Erklärung für diesen paradoxen Effekt gefunden.

Dass ein Medikament einen Prozess aktiviert, statt ihn wie geplant zu hemmen, geschieht vor allem dann, wenn der Wirkstoff in nur geringer Konzentration am Zielort ankommt und dort zudem mehrere potenzielle Bindestellen vorliegen. Das fanden Wissenschaftler um UDE-Professor Dr. Michael Ehrmann heraus und publizierten ihre Erkenntnisse im Fachjournal PNAS.

UDE leitet Projekt zu Mikroorganismen

Saci, die Biofabrik

[25.02.2020] Sie sind kleine Helfer mit großer Wirkung: Mikroorganismen produzieren Lebensmittel, Medikamente, Chemikalien und vieles mehr. Die Industrie nutzt sie wie Minifabriken, um Produkte zu entwickeln, zu verbessern oder Verfahren effizienter zu machen. Mit einem besonders robusten Kleinstlebewesen, dem Saci – genauer Sulfolobus acidocaldarius –, befasst sich ein neues biotechnologisches Forschungsprojekt. Es soll helfen, Abfallprodukte wie CO2 oder Glycerin weiterzuverwerten. „HotAcidFACToRY“ wird von der UDE geleitet und erhält 2,2 Mio. Euro Fördermittel vom Bundesforschungsministerium.*

Studie zu bösartigem Hautkrebs Gefundene Abwehrzellen ermöglichen bessere Vorhersage möglicher Therapieerfolge

[17.02.2020] Das Merkel-Cell-Carcinoma (MCC) ist eine bösartige Form des Hautkrebses, die oft einen gravierenden Verlauf nimmt. Betroffen sind in erster Linie hellhäutige ältere Menschen, die im Lebensverlauf starker UV-Strahlung ausgesetzt waren. Von der gängigen Therapie profitiert leider nur die Hälfte der Betroffenen. Wissenschaftler des Deutschen Krebskonsortiums (DKTK) an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE) haben untersucht, wie besser eingeschätzt werden kann, wem eine Immuntherapie helfen könnte. Über die Ergebnisse berichtet jüngst das Fachmagazin Clinical Cancer Research*.
