Dietary interventions possibly affect #arthritis severity. In our latest publication, we found that amino-acid deprivation reduces arthritis by suppressing IRF1-STAT1 signaling in FLS which impairs immune cells recruitment to the joint.

It's official! 🎉 Our lab will be part of the #FWF -funded PhD Program "SHIELD" organized by Maria Sibilia to better understand the balance of pathogen elimination and tissue destruction. We are excited to collaborate with such an outstanding panel of scientists !

Osteoclasts are known to derive from myeloid precursor cells, however, the exact nature of these precursors is still debated in the field. Our new study shows that conventional, differentiated dendritic cells are major precursors for osteoclasts: 📣 ard.bmj.com/content/early/…

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (un.org/en/observances…), and we are hereby expressing our gratitude and support to all women in science or supporting science at our division (pictured below), and all over the world!

Our division recently gathered to discuss science and brew new ideas within the Austrian Alps. ⛰️ The meeting fertilized the work of each research group with the minds and spirit of the whole team. A unique booster for the projects and a wonderful start in our scientific year! 🔎

Shout-out to Paul Studenic and Andreas Kerschbaumer, two outstanding young Researchers from our Division who won the prestigious Habilitation (Paul) and Dissertation (Andreas) awards during the Regine Kapeller-Adler Lecture three weeks ago (lnkd.in/dJHYJCXP)👏

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare diseases leading to severe physical disability that suffer from a challenging diagnostic establishment. We determined the weight attributed to muscle biopsies in diagnosing IIM 👉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉Our brilliant PhD student Nasim Nakhost Lotfi won the Poster Presentation Award at the 6thDigital Rheumatology Day, highlighting the excellence of her research on establishing #DigitalHealth in the clinical practice of #Rheumatology. Well done Nasim !👏

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a rare condition causing severe disabilities, can lead to Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), an even-more devastating manifestation. Our team found that PET imaging of FAPi-uptake is a biomarker for ILD. 👉 tinyurl.com/y4nsfc3b

A picture tells more than a thousand words... thank you all for sharing that moment with me, and for making the @EULAR 2024 Congress an unforgettable event!!

Both as her supervisor and as head of the Division of Rheumatology, I couldn’t be prouder of Victoria Konzett , a very talented PhD student and rheumatology trainee, for becoming Researcher of the Month by the Medical University of Vienna this July! 👏 youtube.com/watch?v=EC9kKW…

Our Horizon-Europe Project SQUEEZE an impressive showing and engagement at this latest edition of #EULAR2024 last month! Thank you to all contributing members for organizing and manning such a successful booth!

We found a new role for the metabolite itaconate as a key regulator of bone formation in our latest study, spearheaded by our talented PhD student Markus Kieler: ard.bmj.com/content/early/… Congratulations to all co-authors!

We completed our annual Strategic Retreat last week, together with all Research Leaders from our Division. Like every year, this was an outstanding occasion to expand our horizon, rethink our processes, refine our communication, and simply improve our standards!

Our two senior rheumatologists and researchers Clemens Scheinecker and Lisa Göschl just came back from the inspiring 21st edition of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) in Marseille, France (esidmeeting.org)!

Proud of Kastriot Kastrati (second left on the picture), a young and promising physician from our Division, for being awarded the Theodor Billroth award acknowledging his research on interstitial lung disease (ILD) in myositis: tinyurl.com/3sjs3m6k Well done Kasi! 👏

Two of our researchers MedUni Wien Felix Kartnig and Leo Heinz, combined forces with Giulio Superti-Furga's team at CeMM to establish a new method advancing the possibility of predicting the best drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis using blood samples. Great work 👏
