Individual neutrophils attract more cells to initiate the formation of a neutrophil swarm and cluster in living mouse tissue. Snapshots of a 30 minutes time sequence are shown. Individual neutrophils (multicolored), neutrophil clusters (red) and structural components of the mouse skin (blue) are displayed.

Diagnoses with Deepflash

Microscopic images of tissue sections can now be analyzed much more easily – with an innovative digital tool. Two researchers from Würzburg have received three prizes for this.

Beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors in heart muscle cells: In the left cell, beta1 receptors are labeled – they are found both on the cell surface (yellow) and in the T-tubules (green). In the right cell, the beta2-receptors are labeled – they appear only in the T-tubules (green), but not on the cell surface (which is therefore not visible in the image).

Receptor location plays a key role in their function

Research teams from Würzburg, Munich, Erlangen and the MDC in Berlin have identified, for the first time, where special receptors are located on heart muscle cells. Their findings open up new perspectives for developing therapies for chronic heart failure.
