Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), including MBExC members André Fischer, Jutta Gärtner, Peter Rehling and Christine Stadelmann-Nessler, have created the first animal model that can be used to study the damaging mechanisms of excessive interferon release on the brain. The results were published in the scientific open-access journal Nature Communications.
