Research Area E: Inflammation in Aging-associated Diseases

Project leaders: Prof. Dr. Thomas Krieg, Prof. Dr. Manolis Pasparakis

 

Key objectives of RA E are to investigate:

  • inflammation in epithelial homeostasis, degeneration, and regeneration
  • DNA-damage-induced inflammation in tissue homeostasis and aging
  • mechanisms linking inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration, and metabolic diseases, as well as the role of the microenvironment in carcinogenesis
