Die Polizei, die Feuerwehr, die Ärzteschaft, die Umwelthilfe und die überwältigende Mehrheit (75%) der Berliner Bevölkerung fordert ein Verbot von privatem Feuerwerk an Silvester. Das kann man nicht länger ignorieren. Verletzungen, Schäden hohe Kosten. Was macht die Politik?

🫁 Heute ist Welt-Pneumonia-Tag! Noch immer sterben weltweit zu viele Kinder an #Lungenentzündung. Dr. Cláudia Vilhena von der FAU Erlangen hat die wichtigsten Fakten zur #Pneumonie für uns zusammengestellt: 👉 www.infectnet.org/web/blog-pos... @fau.de @cvilhena.bsky.social #wpd2025 #pneumoniaday

Your weekend read VAP is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, but #phages are here to help 🤝 In a murine model of VAP, the combination of phage and antibiotic therapy led to faster clinical improvement and prevented epithelial cell damage🐁🫁 #phagetherapy #VAP #pneumonia

Yesterday, our #ResearchCareers team gave an online presentation on DFG funding in the Walter Benjamin Programme. If you missed it, don't worry. We have a film about funded researchers and general information on this programme available: www.dfg.de/walter_benja... youtu.be/wLe8xCMSpLA?...

New paper from the Nouailles Lab! 🧬 @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social Co–first authors Sarah Berger, @cgokeri.bsky.social & Peter Pennitz show that CXCL5 not only attracts neutrophils but also weakens the lung barrier in pneumonia. Read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.mu... #LungInjury #Pneumonia #CXCL5

New preclinical study shows trimodulin—a plasma-derived Ig preparation enriched in IgM & IgA—supports host defense in severe respiratory infections. Motivated by insights from the Phase 2 CIGMA trial (Welte et al., 2018; Singer et al., 2023).

✨ Das 6. Netzwerktreffen von Infect-Net in #Jena war wieder eine wunderbare Veranstaltung mit spannenden Vorträgen, motivierenden Diskussionen und voller schöner Momente. Vielen Dank an alle Referentinnen und Teilnehmerinnen: ihr macht Infect-Net erfolgreich! 💜 📸 Heiko Hellmann | UKJ #Frauennetzwerk

And now on to science. @geraldinen.bsky.social presents insights into her research on respiratory pathogens and mucosal immunity #singlecellsequencing #SARS-CoV-2

And now a big shoutout to @amarillion.bsky.social, the best Infect-Net coordinator! You were always supportive, open-minded, creative and a big help. You will be absolutely missed! THANK YOU! #grateful #creativemind #thankyou

See the joint job posting for all consortium projects www.circadianmedicine.de, visit our lab website buchauer-lab.eu, and apply by August 8th. #trr418 #circadianmedicine

We are currently recruiting a bioinformatics/computational biology postdoc to join the infrastructure project of a newly funded large research consortium (SFB-TRR) on Circadian Medicine between Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Universität zu Lübeck ⌚ ⏰ ⏱️ 🕰️ !

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

Read our latest #research on #phages #VAP, published with @springernature.com in @natcomms.nature.com. Phages synergize with antibiotics and alleviate ventilator-induced pneumonia. Read more here: rdcu.be/el5ep

Today we celebrate 25 years of the EU’s motto ‘United in Diversity’. More than words - it’s the heart of Europe. 🇪🇺

Registration open: #CoViPa International Symposium on Pandemic Preparedness 📅 June 2-3, 2025 📍 @dkfz.bsky.social Heidelberg 👉 indico.dkfz.de/event/1169/ With Ulrike Protzer, Gülsah Gabriel, Marion Koopmans and many others #virology #immunology #pandemicpreparedness #dkfz

So proud! Big congratulations to Cengiz @cgokeri.bsky.social, who has been selected as one of approximately 600 Young Scientists from throughout the world to experience and contribute to the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting dedicated to Chemistry, which will take place from 29 June to 4 July 2025.

AI can take many forms, but it's clear that the chat format is the one that has truly taken off. I think this reveals a fundamental truth about human thought: we think best in dialogue, even when our counterpart isn’t human.

My group @aps-hki.bsky.social is looking for a new postdoc in immunology of fungal infections focusing on vulvovaginal candidiasis. Please contact me for further details in case of interest.

📰✨ Wir sind sehr happy darüber, dass wir Infect-Net in der aktuellen Ausgabe des #BioSpektrums vorstellen durften! 🚀 Schaut mal rein: 👀👉 rdcu.be/efwbV @gbmev.bsky.social @vaam-microbes.bsky.social @vbio.bsky.social @gabrielepradel.bsky.social @kkubatzky.bsky.social

Looking forward to an exiting day of pure lung science #LSC2025 at the ERS Lung Science Conference 2025 on “Repairing the Lung - from single cells and tissue organisation to regenerative therapy”, in Estoril, Portugal🥳

I had similar issues about a week ago, I guess the server now unstable with all the staff fired and chaos caused by ElMu and Trump - try the European one: europepmc.org, often anyway more useful as it includes biorxiv.

Check out our newest preprint! CXCL5 not only attracts neutrophils to the infected alveolus but also disrupts the lung barrier in acute lung injury. Targeting CXCL5 may stabilize the barrier and reduce inflammation in severe bacterial pneumonia. #LungResearch #AcuteLungInjury doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Thankful for the lovely evening celebrating 50 years of the Sonnenfeld Stiftung and honoring our dear founders.
