Inhalable mRNA vaccines could block infections directly at the site of entry. A newly developed nanoparticle system protects the mRNA as it passes through the airways and ensures an effective immune response in the lungs.
Researchers at the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), working within the COSYCONET study, have demonstrated that polygenic risk scores (PRS) can predict lung function decline as well as the development of early Chronic Obstructive...
New analyses from the multicenter observational study MODULATE-CF (NCT04732910) provide robust long-term data for the first time on the effects of the triple therapy elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) on systemic inflammation in people with cystic fibrosis (CF).
With the publication of the new D-A-CH guideline “Follow-up care of adults after lung transplantation”, an evidence-based and comprehensive follow-up care concept for patients after lung transplantation is now available for the first time. The...
The Institute for Lung Health (ILH) and the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) have established an Indo-German Bioengineering Center for Lung Health, integrating bioengineering, clinical medicine, and translational research to advance innovative solutions in...
Influenza infections can severely compromise the lung’s immune defense, making patients more susceptible to secondary bacterial infections. DZL scientists have identified a key mechanism by which specialized immune cells in the lungs are depleted during...
Mukoviszidose e.V. is supporting the research of DZL early-career scientist Dr. Niclas Hagen. The aim of the project is to develop a reliable AI-based evaluation of MRI images to improve the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis,...
DZL researchers at the BREATH site in Hannover show how T cells contribute to lung changes in autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis and Sjögren’s syndrome. Their findings provide new insights into immune processes and...
Julian Better (Gießen) and Dr. Julianne Susanne Funk (Marburg) receive the 2025 Von Behring-Röntgen Young Investigator Awards for their outstanding work in lung immunology and cancer research.
More than 45 early-career researchers from the DPLD Disease Area met in Munich from December 4–5 to present their projects, receive feedback from senior scientists, and exchange ideas within a diverse scientific program.
The AI model UNAGI enables a temporally resolved analysis of cellular processes in complex lung diseases. It can track disease progression at the cellular level and predict potential therapeutic approaches.
