We are shocked by the attack on Berlin’s CSD. Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone affected. We are proud of our queer community and stand firmly in solidarity with them. Together, we are shaping #mdcBerlin into a place rooted in openness, respect, and mutual support.

Pride Month at the #mdcBerlin began with exchange in our 5th annual Pride Symposium. This weekend, many members of our community will take that spirit to Berlin CSD. A big thank you to everyone who organized, spoke, and participated in the event! #CSDBerlin

Welcome Filip Van Petegem! Humboldt Research Award winner (@humboldt-foundation.de) and biochemist @filipvanpetegem.bsky.social will spend 6 months as a guest researcher in @mishakudryashev.bsky.social’s lab studying the structure ion channels. Details: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/we...

Building a bioengineering hub with global reach. At our Bioengineering Symposium, experts explored how biology, engineering, AI, and strong partnerships can accelerate medical innovation. At the #mdcBerlin, we’re helping bring these strengths together in Berlin. 🔗 www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/bi...

Just one exposure to #cocaine can create changes in mouse #brain cells that persist for at least two weeks. Researchers led by @apombo1.bsky.social presented these findings at the @fens.org Forum, Europe’s largest neuroscience congress. #FENS2026 Our article: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/si...

Researchers in the lab of James Poulet have uncovered how the #nervoussystem senses cool and warm temperatures. The findings challenge a long-standing view of #temperature #sensing and could guide future research into #pain and sensory disorders. Our article: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/h...

Organoids models often consist of immature cells. Models that resemble adult tissue would be better for studying late-onset diseases like ALS. Our scientists show that electrical pulse stimulation helps organoid to mature. Details: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/el...

Oxalic acid might do more than just contribute to the formation of kidney stones — it may also be an underappreciated driver of inflammation and heart damage in people with impaired kidney function. 👉 Full article: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/in...
