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
