Scientists of the PZB are in the lead, speaker of the RTG is PZB member and vice speaker of the center Prof. Dr. Christa E. Müller (Pharmaceutical Institute, Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry). The aim of the RTG is to modernize medicinal chemistry and to train a new generation of medicinal chemists and researchers at the crossroads of associated disciplines. In addition, the projects should contribute to the development of new drugs. The funding amounts to almost 6.3 million euros for five years. News of the Uni Bonn

Nature-Publikation from PZB-Speaker Prof. Dr. A. Pfeifer
5th July 2022: Apoptotic brown adipocytes enhance energy expenditure via extracellular inosine
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy and promotes cardio-metabolic health. In this publication, Nieman et al. identifiy inosine as novel tissue-messenger in brown fat (BAT). They show that treatment of mice with inosine increased BAT-dependent energy expenditure and induced “browning” of white adipose tissue. This work is funded by the DFG.
