Science on Friday
DZHK scientists discuss latest research results once a month | next webinar: Gene Therapy (online, in English) | Friday, 22 January 2021, 4-5 pm | Participation only with DZHK status
Reduce heart attack risk after infections
Mini-proteins targeting the protein histone H2a could prevent the risk of heart attack from increasing in cardiovascular patients with an acute infection. The approach could also mitigate severe covid 19 courses.
Antihypertensive drugs protect cardiovascular patients from severe COVID-19 progression
People with high blood pressure get COVID-19 more severely due to immune hyperactivation. ACE inhibitors could protect against this.
Discovering a forgotten biosignal
The nocturnal respiratory rate can help with an important prediction: It is an indicator of whether a defibrillator will help to extend the life of patients with arrhythmia.
Webinars on demand
Missed a webinar or workshop? Never mind: Most events are freely available as recordings. Some recordings are only accessible to people with DZHK status. Most of the events are in German.
