Great team achievement! Our paper on the role of lncRNAs in COVID-19 has been accepted for publication in PNAS. Using scRNAseq, we identified a lincRNA mechanism that promotes the expression of alarmins, which critically contribute to immune imbalances in COVID-19. Here's the link to the paper

Our preprint on the role of lncRNAs in COVID-19 is online. Using scRNAseq, we identified a lincRNA mechanism that promotes the expression of alarmins, which critically contribute to immune imbalances in COVID-19. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.11.05.467458

SFB-TR84 project prolongued, Fritz Thyssen Stiftung funding secured - great week so far.

Many thanks to all speakers and participants of our online RMU RNA Salon 2020 for the great presentations and discussions! Hopefully see you again in person in 2021.

Many thanks to the International Cytokine and Interferon Society (ICIS) and the Milstein Family for the Milstein Abstract Award, presented to Leon Schulte during the Cytokines 2020 meeting. It was an exciting conference with great speakers and many interesting Lightning Talks.
