Universities Demand Fair and Responsible AI Development from the G7
The members of the U7+ Alliance of World Universities, which include the University of Bonn, came together for their latest Presidential Summit, entitled “The Role of Universities in Advancing AI.” The network is calling on the G7 to take specific action to enable the whole of society to benefit from artificial intelligence, including supporting universities in AI research, investing in AI training and establishing platforms for North-South collaboration.
Immune Cells Drive Congenital Paralysis Disease
Patients with spastic paraplegia type 15 develop movement disorders during adolescence that may ultimately require the use of a wheelchair. In the early stages of this rare hereditary disease the brain appears to play a major role by over-activating the immune system, as shown by a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The study was led by researchers at the University of Bonn and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). These findings could also be relevant for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
New way to prevent duodenal cancer
People with the hereditary disease familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have a greatly increased risk of developing a malignant tumor of the duodenum. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2 at the University of Bonn have now discovered a mechanism in the local immune system that can drive the development of cancer. They see this as a promising new approach to preventing duodenal carcinoma in people with FAP. The results have now been published in the journal "Nature Communications".
