Uncovering basic mechanisms of intestinal stem cell self-renewal and differentiation promises new approaches to treat diseasesTargeting endocrine dysfunction at an early stage by stimulating the formation of specific enteroendocrine cells from intestinal stem cells could be a promising regenerative approach for diabetes therapy.
Prediabetes Subtypes IdentifiedNot all prediabetes is the same: In people in the preliminary stages of type 2 diabetes, there are six clearly distinguishable subtypes, which differ in the development of the disease, diabetes risk, and the development of secondary diseases.
ERC Grant Success Continues for Helmholtz Zentrum MünchenHelmholtz Zentrum München won two ERC Consolidator Grants for pioneering biomedical research in the fields of metabolic health and bioengineering. In 2020, the European Research Council (ERC) awarded the center with a total of eight ERC Grants. This is a significant success for Helmholtz Zentrum München and a remarkable result in the international competition.
Animal-free method predicts nanoparticle toxicity for safer industrial materialsResearchers at Helmholtz Zentrum München together with scientists across Europe developed a novel animal-free method to predict the toxic effect of nanoparticles to the human lung. The method aims to enable the safety-by-design development of safer industrial materials.
