Joined January 2019
How does the kidney cope with injury? We have found that glucocorticoids, widely used in the clinic for their anti-inflammatory properties, have deleterious effects on damaged renal epithelial cells and exacerbate acute kidney injury. #ScienceTM

Sad to announce that Karl Joachim Netter, the former director of the Institute of Pharmacology in Marburg, passed away. With him, the institute has lost an excellent scientist, generous supporter and dedicated pioneer of international scientific networking.

In this manuscript, we identify a semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway that operates in gastric G cells to inhibit gastrin expression and gastric acid secretion. We show that pharmacological activation of this pathway in mice can be harnessed to treat NSAID-induced peptic ulcers.
