(Dr Milas Ugur / University of Würzburg) (Image: Milas Ugur / Universität Würzburg) A team at the University of Würzburg led by systems immunologist Wolfgang Kastenmüller has received a grant of around 440,000 euros from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for research into dendritic cells. Dendritic cells play a pivotal role in coordinating immune responses within the human body. Their task is to recognise foreign structures and malignant cells, subsequently stimulating their destruction. A team of researchers at the University of Würzburg (JMU), led by systems immunologist Wolfgang Kastenmüller, holder of the Chair of Systems Immunology I and Director at the Max Planck Research Group for Systems Immunology, is investigating how dendritic cells develop and navigate through the body.
