Light show in living cells

<p>Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge - especially in living cells, as the required fluorescent labelling had to be individually attached to each protein. The research group led by Stefan Kubicek at CeMM has now overcome this hurdle: With a method called &quot;vpCells,&quot; it is possible to label many proteins simultaneously, using five different fluorescent colours. This automated high-throughput approach, aided by AI-assisted image recognition, opens up entirely new applications in various disciplines, from fundamental cell biology to drug discovery. The study has been published in the journal <em>Nature Cell Biology</em> (DOI: 10.1038/s41556-024-01407-w), and the related images are available at <em>vpcells.cemm.at</em>.</p>

Vaccine boosts innate immunity in people with

<p><strong>Bacillus Calmette-Gu&eacute;rin (BCG) is one of the world&rsquo;s oldest and most widely used vaccines. It was developed in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century to provide protection from tuberculosis. Surprisingly, this vaccine protects not only against tuberculosis but also reduces the risk for various other infections, through a mechanism called trained immunity. A new study led by Christoph Bock and Mihai Netea found that epigenetic cell states predict whether or not an individual profits from the &ldquo;wake-up call&rdquo; to the innate immune system that is provided by the BCG vaccine. This discovery contributes to the development of future therapeutics that induce protective trained immunity.</strong></p>
