🚨 Excited to share that our latest study on the role of inflammatory activation in endothelial cells during the infarct response is now published in Circulation Research!

Huge thanks to all co-authors—especially Lukas, Till, Simone, and Ariane—for driving this project forward.

Workouts can help gut microbes to quell cancer
Mice that exercised produced higher levels of an immune-cell-stimulating molecule than sedentary rodents did.

Nature research paper: Maternal iron deficiency causes male-to-female sex reversal in mouse embryos

Maternal iron deficiency causes male-to-female sex reversal in mouse embryos - Nature
Iron-deficient conditions in pregnant mice can cause XY mouse embryos to develop female rather than male genitalia, revealing that iron metabolism has a role in determining male sex in mice.
