Gut bacteria are sensitive to salt

Common salt reduces the number of certain lactic acid bacteria in the gut of mice and humans according to a study published in Nature by Berlin’s Max Delbrück Center and Charité. This has an impact on immune cells which are partly responsible for autoimmune diseases and hypertension. Probiotics ameliorate the symptoms of disease in mice.

From Vancouver to Berlin: W3 Professorship for Bioinformatician Irmtraud Meyer at the FU Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center

The bioinformatician Irmtraud Meyer of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has accepted the appointment to a W3 professorship for “Bioinformatics of the RNA Structure and Transcriptome Regulation” at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU) in cooperation with the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB) of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC). The two institutions have thus succeeded in recruiting an internationally recognized scientist to Berlin and to strengthen the field of systems biology and systems medicine. Professor Meyer will begin her work in Berlin during this winter term and thus return to Germany after 16 years of research abroad.
