Distinguishing acute Influenza from COVID-19 is critical. Our lab found striking differences in CD9 surface marker patterns of serum small extracellular vesicles (sEV), using advanced sEV array and ExoView technology.

Great exchange at the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research with valuable input from Minister @TimonGremmels. Congratulatios to @AnkeBecker on her re-election as proLOEWE speaker! Congrats also to @BerndSchmeck on his re-election as vice-speaker.

Great retreat of the DZIF TTU HAI (healthcare-associated infections) in Frankfurt next to the ECB. Discussed great science (microbiome, treatment, prevention, bloodstream, infections, ...). Congrats to our new spokesperson Dennis Nurjadi, and many thanks to our outgoing speaker Maria Vehreschild!

New insights into mechanisms, diagnosis, prevention & therapy of COPD were central to the DZL Disease Area COPD retreat in Marburg. Special topics: Digital Medicine & climate/environmental impact on lung health. Thanks to all researchers across Germany for the excellent discussions.

At #PermedCOPD Symposium Marburg, Max Kutzinski presented compelling data on how climate & environmental factors influence sputum findings in community-acquired pneumonia—underscoring the link between environment and lung health. 🌍🌬️ #lungresearch

COPD Symposium 2025 in Marburg: A vibrant exchange between clinicians, scientists, industry & patient representatives. Topics ranged from genomics to healthcare economics—shaping the future of personalized COPD care. #PermedCOPD #COPD2025 #translationalmedicine

Two poster prizes for iLung at #DZL2025! 🏆🫁 Congrats to Efthymios F. Papakonstantinou and Abdelrahman Mohamed for their work on senescence-associated vesicle signatures and EV-based pneumonia vaccines.
Great science - well deserved! #iLung #LungResearch #EVs #TeamScience

Great to see the recent Nature Communications paper by Leon Schulte and colleagues highlighted at #DZL2025 🫁🧬
Their work on lncRNA networks in the alveolar niche is already resonating within the lung research community. #iLung #LungResearch #TranslationalScience #lncRNA #NatureCommunications

Great to see the iLung team at the DZL Conference 2025 in Heidelberg! A great opportunity to exchange ideas, present our latest findings, and strengthen collaborations within the translational lung research community. 🤝 #DZL2025 #LungResearch #TranslationalMedicine #UniversityOfMarburg

From microbiomes to sepsis: Inspiring talks & great people at the Diffusible Signals symposium in Marburg! 🧬🧪 Big thanks to the speakers & hosts – iLung was happy to be part of it! #iLung #Microbiota #InfectionBiology #DiffusibleSignals2025 #ScienceCommunity

Proud to see this team effort from the Schulte lab @iLung now published in Nature Communications! 🎉 Congrats!
Led by @NilsSchmerer & @LeonSchulte_, the study maps lncRNA-driven immunity in macrophages using GRADR.
Check out the SMyLR atlas! 🧬🔬
