Allergen immunotherapy not only relieves allergy symptoms but also reprograms the immune system in the long term. A study by DZL researchers provides new insights into the cellular changes underlying successful treatment and identifies potential...
Researchers at the CPC-M site in Munich of the DZL have uncovered evidence that asthma may originate very early in life. Their recent study shows that children who later develop asthma already exhibit measurable differences...
A recent study published in the Journal of Controlled Release explores innovative strategies to deliver RNA-based therapies directly to the lungs. The findings provide important impulses for the development of new treatment approaches for inflammatory...
Children who grow up on traditional farms develop allergies or asthma far less often than city children. Researchers are now investigating which environmental factors protect their lungs – and what these findings could mean for...
Allergic asthma is a complex disease in which immune responses and structural changes in the airways are closely interconnected. A recent study highlights the role of the inflammasome sensor NLRP3 in maintaining the integrity of...
Researchers at the CPC-M site of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), together with partner institutions, have published a new study presenting a promising therapeutic strategy for allergic asthma.
Why do some people with asthma experience severe flare-ups after viral infections, while others show hardly any symptoms? DZL researchers have uncovered an underlying mechanism and identified a biomarker that could help predict severe exacerbations...
Despite their enormous disease burden, respiratory illnesses such as COPD and asthma receive little attention in research, policy, and public discourse. An international group of early career scientists is now calling for greater visibility, national...
Repeated infections with rhinoviruses can induce epigenetic changes in the human bronchial epithelium. Researchers from the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) have now demonstrated for the first time that structural airway cells can develop...
A research team at DZL site CPC-M is developing an innovative RNA-based inhalation therapy for lung diseases. The project is supported by a €2.5 million grant from the European Innovation Council.
Why do children who grow up on farms develop asthma and allergies less frequently? Researchers at the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital of the LMU Klinikum have made a significant step toward understanding how this...
The international consortium RESPIRE-EXCEL has received 3.3 million euros from the EU’s Horizon Europe programme: Scientists from the DZL sites ARCN and CPC-M are among those to receive funding.
