University of Bonn demonstrates carnival excellence at the “Forschologicum”
On February 17, 2025, the Haus der Springmaus theater in Bonn-Endenich was once again transformed into a stronghold of science carnival. The "Forschologicum", the satirical carnival session of the Federal City's scientific institutions, once again offered a rousing program full of humour, music and clever punchlines for all those who had snapped up one of the coveted tickets in time. The University of Excellence Bonn was once again strongly represented in the ensemble.  
Potential target for MS therapy discovered
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system caused by the immune system. B cells, which are a type of white blood cell, play a role in the development of MS and are thus a target for therapies. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn and the FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg identified the membrane protein MLC1 as a potential target antigen in MS. To do this, the team used a novel combination of modern techniques. The results of the work have now been published in the renowned journal “Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation”.
The secret behind sharp vision
Even when we think we are holding our gaze perfectly still, our eyes make tiny, involuntary movements. While these "fixational eye movements" might seem like they would blur our vision, new research reveals they actually help us see fine details more clearly. The results of the study have now been published in "PNAS".
AI Enhances Brain Imaging
How can nerve pathways in the brain be visualized to improve the planning of complex surgeries? A research team from the Lamarr Institute and the University of Bonn, in collaboration with the Translational Neuroimaging Group at the Departments of Neuroradiology and Epileptology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), has investigated an AI-powered method that makes these reconstructions more precise. The study, recently published in NeuroImage: Clinical, could ultimately help make neurosurgical procedures safer.
