Celebrating Dr Sergiu Dumitrescu’s successful PhD defense at MedUni Vienna! His work shows that certain reactive oxygen species from NOX4 are essential for the proliferation of human amniotic stem cells. Sergiu will continue as a Postdoc in the Sepsis-Trauma-Shock Group of our Marcin Osuchowski.

Congrats to Vanessa Geyik on earning her MSc. Vanessa worked on vascularized skin equivalents with perfused hierarchical vasculature, to be used in wound healing & aging studies. Big thanks to Barbara Bachmann, Heinz Redl, & Mikolaj Ogrodnik for their guidance.

Our Susanne Wolbank, Head of Cell-Based Therapies Research, opened the Amnion Session at the Annual Conference of the European Association of Cell and Tissue Banks (EACTB) with her keynote lecture "Amniotic Membrane 2.0 – Outlook on Next Generation Products".

Congrats to Sara Kostrebic on earning her MSc! Her thesis 'Identifying Cellular Factors in Trauma-Induced Frailty,' explores how aging affects recovery from injury. She completed her work under the guidance of Karla Valdivieso @kvaldivieso.bsky.social, Mikolaj Ogrodnik, and Gordin Zupkovitz.

New paper! 📢 An AI-powered tool to enhance clinicians' ability to diagnose distal radius fractures. Using a convolutional neural network model by ImageBiopsyLab, the study shows how AI can act as a reliable second opinion. boneandjoint.org.uk/article/10.1... via @BoneJointRes

Congrats to Dr. Isabel Casado Losada on completing her PhD at MedUni Vienna! Under supervision of Sylvia Nürnberger, Isabel focused on optimizing cartilage regeneration strategies, investigating the chondrogenic potential of decellularized cartilage scaffolds.

Honored to host Prof. Manabu Kinoshita, President of the Japanese Shock Society, for a talk on 'Trained Innate Immunity for Sepsis/Septic Shock in Compromised Hosts'. Our Sepsis-Trauma-Shock team was thrilled to welcome this global partner in fighting sepsis!

Congrats to Dr. Marlene Wahlmüller on defending her PhD at JKU Linz! 👏👏 In a joint project between Morphomed & LBI Trauma, she explored how ASCs can transform personalized medicine - investigating how lipedema, donor age, and senescence affect therapeutic stem cell function.

Congrats to our Nadja Ring for winning the ÖGU Best Experimental Publication Award, awarded by the Austrian Society for Trauma Surgery! 🎉 As Nadja embarks on new professional endeavors, we wish her all the best for the next chapter. Nadja, we know you'll continue to shine!

Congratulations to Jakob Schanda on receiving the ÖGU Förderpreis for Open Access Publication! His research shows that patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears achieve better strength recovery post-surgery with arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR).

Congrats to Dr. Dominik Hanetseder on defending his PhD! 🦴 His research in the Bone Regeneration group explores innovative ways to enhance bone healing in elderly patients using engineered ECM and conditioned medium to boost stem cell activity and improve bone healing. #PhDone

Congrats to Dr. Magdalena Metzger from our Photobiomodulation group for acing her PhD exam! 🎉 Alongside her research, Magdalena has been a fantastic ambassador for science—teaching, inspiring at fairs, and even running for science! We're excited to see what she achieves next!

Congratulations to Annette Vaglio-Garro for receiving the Günther-Schlag-Abstract-Award from the Austrian Society for Trauma Surgery (ÖGU)! 🏆Her latest research on the treatment of neuronal damage caused by traumatic brain injury demonstrates vitamin B1 can improve recovery.

Congrats, Tatyana Tyshuk on the excellent defensio of your master thesis on the characterization of endothelial #ExtracellularVesicles #EVs in complex body fluids! 😎 @bokuvienna.bsky.social

Exploring AI in PhD research! Our researchers attended an insightful workshop by Isabel Dregely from Technikum Wien Academy. We covered AI tools, deep learning, safe use with sensitive data, and navigating AI limitations. Big thanks to Isabel for the insights and discussion! 🙌

Spreading the word about the @beatsepsis.bsky.social sepsis mission! In two new articles, our Marcin Osuchowski calls for personalized therapies and explains why we need more research into sepsis & its long-term consequences.👉 riffreporter.de/de/wissen/se...

Sepsis: Neue Diagnosemethoden und Therapien könnten Leben retten

Bei einer Sepsis zählt jede Minute. Innovative und schnelle Diagnoseverfahren sowie neue Immuntherapien sollen die hohe Sterblichkeit bei Sepsis senken.

Congratulations to our Nefertiti Chaves-Solano on winning the Best Presentation Award at the IPLASS (International Placenta Stem Cell Society)-CTESS Joint International Conference! 🏆 Nefertiti's research explores pro-regenerative miRNAs from human amniotic membrane.

Introducing the NanoPrecMed Consortium at #ASEVCzeSEV2024! 🚀 We are excited to present our new mission: using the combined academic expertise in our regions to promote growth of a biotech/biopharma industry sector based on nanobioparticles. 🫧🔬

Strong presence of LBI Trauma at #ASEVCzeSEV2024! Our young researchers showcased the enormous potential of #ExtracellularVesicles in tissue engineering & regenerative medicine. And as always: the spirit of community in the EV bubble is amazing! Science at its best! 🙌

🏃‍♂️ Representing Trauma Research at the Vienna #BusinessRun! 🏃‍♀️Just like research, running takes grit, determination, and the willingness to push boundaries. Each step we take, whether on the track or in the lab, brings us closer to breakthroughs that can improve lives.

"Guidelines for minimal information on cellular senescence experimentation in vivo" The MICSE guidelines were initiated and coordinated by Mikolaj Ogrodnik, Heinz Redl, Nadja Ring (LBG SHoW), Johannes Grillari (LBI Trauma & @bokuvienna.bsky.social) & Marco Demaria (ICSA) www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Guidelines for minimal information on cellular senescence experimentation in vivo

This primer introduces the “minimal information on cellular senescence experimentation in vivo” (MICSE) guidelines, which aim to address the challenges in identifying and characterizing senescent cells. It provides an overview of senescence markers in various systems and offers a practical toolset to enhance our understanding of cellular senescence in vivo.
