Using advanced intravital microscopy, DZL researchers have been able to observe early immune reactions in the living lung in real time. The images show that specific T cells are activated within hours after contact with...
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded DZL scientist Prof. Dr. Soni Savai Pullamsetti a Proof of Concept Grant to further develop an innovative platform technology for the targeted delivery of gene therapies to the...
Why do some people live much longer with a transplanted lung than others? DZL researchers are investigating the role of specialized immune cells to identify new biomarkers that could predict long-term transplant success and enable...
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...
Around 700 participants, vibrant scientific discussions, and a shared vision for the future of respiratory research: from 9 to 11 June 2026, the nationwide network of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) gathered in...
A research team involving scientists from the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) has now gained important insights into the processes that determine whether pulmonary fibrosis progresses or resolves. The findings were published in Nature...
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...
Researchers have investigated how modern CFTR modulators in cystic fibrosis affect not only the lungs but also the body’s overall proteome. The study provides new insights into the systemic effects of highly effective therapies.
New hope for pulmonary fibrosis: Researchers at the Heidelberg site of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) have developed an immunotherapy-based approach that selectively eliminates senescent fibroblasts and could promote lung regeneration. The findings...
How is artificial intelligence transforming pulmonary research? At the DZL DataLung Symposium 2026, researchers, clinicians, and data scientists gathered at Schloss Rauischholzhausen to discuss innovative AI approaches, data-driven research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
International experts in clinical, translational, and basic science research gathered in Giessen, Germany, from May 6–8, 2026, for the eurILDreg Symposium “Re-shaping eurILDreg: structure, organisation, research goals” to discuss current developments and future strategies in...
