Today is Rare Disease Day! We and our partner institutes @StAnna_CCRI, @CeMM_News and @MedUni_Wien want to raise awareness and show our commitment to the global effort to fight rare diseases. We care about rare - do you? @rarediseaseday
A team of scientists led by LBI-RUD Co-Director Georg Stary (@StaryGeorg) (@MedUni_Wien/@CeMM_News) and LBI-RUD PI Christoph Bock (@BockLab) (@CeMM_News/@MedUni_Wien ) has made a major breakthrough in understanding granulomas
Granulomas, an accumulation of immune cells in the tissue, contribute to inflammatory diseases, e.g. #sarcoidosis. A team led by @StaryGeorg & Christoph Bock (@BockLab) have analyzed them & provided important insights to develop more efficient therapies ➡️ bit.ly/3RubKKq
