In aggressive lymphomas, inflammatory messengers reprogram the “conductors” of the immune system, causing lymph node structure to collapse. A team led by Simon Haas describes in “Nature Cancer” this process for the first time using single-cell and spatial analyses.

At the Einstein Center for Early Disease Interception, researchers from twelve Berlin institutions will be pooling their expertise to explore new approaches to prevention, long before symptoms appear, and bring them quickly into practice. The center opens today with a ceremony.

Marking International Women's Day, Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär met with female researchers at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin-Mitte to discuss advancing equality in science.

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center show that two closely related enzymes, MNK1 and MNK2, act on the brain to regulate different behaviors. Their findings, published in “Molecular Psychiatry,” could help guide development of more precise therapies for neurological disorders.

MRI scans often struggle to capture clear images of deep or delicate tissues. Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center now report in “Advanced Materials” a new lightweight antenna that boosts image quality and may shorten scan times ¬– without changing existing MRI machines.

The Max Delbrück Center’s Communications and Marketing department has a new head: Tabea Rauscher has taken over the role from Jutta Kramm. With a passion for science and strategic communication, she is shaping the dialogue between research and society.

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, published in “Nature Cell Biology,” could help boost vaccine response in older adults.

Jana Kroll, Christian Rosenmund and their teams have captured the fleeting moment a nerve cell releases its neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The work was published in “Nature Communications.”
