2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine & TRR 355
Unraveling the Power of Regulatory T Cells
✨This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine celebrates Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance” — a fundamental mechanism that prevents the immune system from attacking the body’s own tissues 👏🏻
Their groundbreaking work revealed the crucial role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) — the immune system’s “peacekeepers” — in maintaining immune balance and preventing autoimmune disease.
A recent article in the “Deutsches Ärzteblatt” emphasizes how German research currently strongly contributes in expanding and implementing the findings on Tregs.
🦠 Part of this, is our Transregional Collaborative Research Centre hashtag#TRR355, which is coordinated from Mainz. Except for Mainz, the hashtag#TRR355 operates at different research locations in Germany 🧬🧪🔬, like Munich, Braunschweig, Berlin and Konstanz. Our consortium is founded by the DFG and explores how Tregs adapt to different organs and tissue environments.
The Nobel Prize winner’s recognition of Treg biology underlines just how central this field has become to modern medicine — and why initiatives like our hashtag#TRR355 are shaping the future of precision immunotherapy. 🌍💡
