In such cases, the immune system reacts extremely strongly to the virus, and releases unchecked cascades of messenger substances that cause massive inflammatory reactions throughout the body, resulting in the failure of the immune system\u2019s regulatory mechanisms, and an ensuing imbalance. Our body\u2019s communication network is enormous; it contains a huge amount of such regulatory mechanisms to ensure not only the many different functions of the body&#8217;s cells, but also their renewal. All this serves to maintain stability in the body as a whole and in the individual cells in particular. In scientific terms, this inner balance of the organism and the individual cell is known as homeostasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This balance is not static; after all, the human body\u2019s environment is constantly changing, or pathogens give rise to disturbances. Accordingly, the individual cell is also in constant exchange with its environment, both by absorbing and releasing nutrients, oxygen and carbon dioxide, and by sending and receiving countless signals in the form of messenger substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cell fails to maintain its homeostasis, this has serious consequences: As such, a lack of control of cell division is a cause of cancer. Misfolded proteins that are not disposed of within the cell and instead accumulate play a central role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#8217;s dementia, Parkinson&#8217;s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A possible result of the immune system getting out of balance is autoimmune diseases with chronic inflammation or even \u2013 as in the case of SARS-CoV-2 \u2013 a life-threatening cytokine storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What exactly ensures homeostasis in the body?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The EMTHERA research consortium will investigate the disease mechanisms that underlie such systemic diseases at the interface of infection, inflammation and immunity. EMTHERA spokesperson Prof. Ivan \u00d0iki&#8217;c explains: &#8222;Our overarching goal is to understand the mechanisms that keep the body as a whole, its organs and the individual cells in balance, i.e. in homeostasis, so that metabolism and organ renewal can be managed, and external disturbances, such as those caused by infectious agents, can be compensated.&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this end, the researchers want to find out in detail how the pathogen and the human &#8222;host&#8220; interact with each other in the course of an infection. One focus of this EMTHERA research program is on RNA viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, and the immune response that occurs when another virus, such as influenza, simultaneously infects the host. As such, novel antivirals to combat the infections could prove to be substances that deliver virus components to the cellular protein shredder system, which the cell naturally reserves to recycle no longer needed or defective proteins. Another focus is on investigating pathogenic bacteria, often referred to as hospital germs. Here, the scientists are developing novel therapies that will use components of so-called phages, i.e. viruses that naturally infect bacteria. Other foci will be the aging of the immune system and how this weakens the body&#8217;s resistance to pathogens; and how the interplay between gut and intestinal bacteria as well as the immune system affects resistance to invaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/emthera.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/emthera.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/emthera.jpg 650w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/emthera-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/emthera-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cultured cells form a 3D model of the human small intestine.

The focus here is on the liver and bone marrow, which amplify signals for inflammation and thus perpetuate an inflammation\u2019s chronicity. From a therapeutic standpoint, the scientists want to develop strategies that specifically dampen this overactive inflammatory process in the affected tissues and organs. Here, too, communication between the intestinal bacteria and the liver plays an important role. The goal is to develop therapies that restore the homeostasis of both cells and organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also the aim of the third EMTHERA research program, which investigates the extent to which the immune system can be &#8222;reprogrammed&#8220;, so as to not only stop the spread of inflammation to the whole body, but also harness the immune system\u2019s healing powers. After all, the immune system is capable of regenerating tissue damaged by viruses or bacteria. From a therapeutic perspective, the team is testing technologies that specifically break down disease-relevant proteins or work with RNA agents or nanoparticles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the three research programs, the EMTHERA team is also investigating overarching issues, such as in which pharmaceutical form substances should be administered for them to take effect in the desired organ or target cell. Nanotechnology is just as much a part of this as computer-assisted biomedicine. Apart from that, a communication science project sets out to improve public acceptance of new therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EMTHERA co-spokesperson Prof. \u00d6zlem T\u00fcreci is convinced: &#8222;We can only unravel the complex events in inflammation and infection with large, interdisciplinary teams: By working together, we multiply the power of science. The success of the mRNA-based COVID vaccines proves how platform technologies can be used intelligently to make the impossible possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7e7e7\"><strong>Website<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/emthera.de\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emthera.de\/\">https:\/\/emthera.de\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s do it: Goethe University Frankfurt submits four new and one existing research cluster to the Excellence Strategy competition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Goethe University Frankfurt is applying for the upcoming round of the German federal and state governments\u2019 Excellence Strategy with four new clusters on the research topics Confidence in Conflict (CONTRUST), Infection and Inflammation (EMTHERA), Origin of Heavy Elements (ELEMENTS), and Cellular Architectures (SCALE).
