Nobelpreis für Medizin: Wenn Ihr Immunsystem nicht Amok läuft, liegt es an diesen Zellen
Kämpfen, aber nicht gegen sich selbst: Wie dem Immunsystem das gelingt, haben die Medizinnobelpreisträger gezeigt. Es könnte helfen, Krebs und Neurodermitis zu behandeln.
Nobelpreise für Medizin 2025 geht an Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow & Fred Ramsdell für ihre bahnbrechenden Arbeiten zur peripheren Immuntoleranz. Gratulation 👏

Is this a different author from Paul de Kruif, who published "Microbe Hunters" in 1926? Molly Caldwell Crosby also gives a very vivid account in her book "The American Plague" (2006).

The unexpected value of communicating science to the public
Nature Reviews Neuroscience - As a group, our scientific community has a responsibility to unpack the ‘what’ and ‘why’ behind our work for the public, not least because much...
Fantastic piece in Nature Reviews Neuro by @nicolecrust.bsky.social on the importance of science communication. My take? Everything matters - just do something. It will make a difference for how science is valued and trusted, how community understands. Let's get out there and communicate! 👏

Eine Hand hält ein Smartphone, auf dessen Bildschirm eine Nahaufnahme einer Zecke auf einem Grashalm zu sehen ist. Darüber steht in weißer Schrift: „Zecke oder Mücke entdeckt? Foto für die Wissenschaft machen! Helft mit beim Citizen-Science-Projekt ZEMEKI!“ Das Bild wirbt für die Beteiligung am Forschungsprojekt ZEMEKI.
Anleitung zur Teilnahme am Citizen-Science-Projekt ZEMEKI. Überschrift: „So macht ihr mit“. Darunter eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Erklärung: 1. Foto machen, 2. Beobachtung hochladen, 3. Art wird automatisch erkannt, 4. Expertinnen und Experten prüfen nach, 5. Beitrag zur Forschung leisten. Am oberen Rand fliegen stilisierte Zecken und Mücken über das Bild.
Infografik mit dem Titel „Warum euer Foto zählt“. Es wird erklärt, dass sich Zecken und Mücken in Deutschland ausbreiten – unter anderem durch Klimawandel und Landnutzung – und Krankheiten übertragen können. Fotos aus der Bevölkerung helfen, diese Ausbreitung zu verstehen und Risiken frühzeitig zu erkennen. Am unteren Rand ist eine Illustration von zwei Händen zu sehen, die ein Smartphone mit einem Mückenfoto halten.
Zecken und Mücken mit KI erkennen
Das neue Citizen-Science-Projekt #ZEMEKI braucht Fotos aus der Bevölkerung. KI-gestützte Analysen helfen, die Ausbreitung invasiver Arten wie der Asiatischen #Tigermücke früh zu erkennen.
