As part of an Interreg program, the Competence Center for MechanoBiology enables cross-border cooperation between Austrian and Czech institutes. LBI Trauma is among the three Austrian members. Together, the scientists examine how mechanical forces act on tissues and cells, what signals are triggered within and surrounding the cells and how this can be used to stimulate healing.

The incidence of sepsis is on the rise worldwide. Despite continuous improvements of diagnosis and treatment, one out of four hospitalized septic patients dies of the condition. While patient management is organized by up-to-date guidelines, the translation of new research findings into the clinics is hampered by the lack of best practices and standardization in preclinical sepsis studies. With large quality gaps as well as conflicting data, scientists struggle to reconcile the pre-existing and emerging experimental findings into coherent blueprints of sepsis pathophysiology.

How old can a human become? 120 years, says research. At this point, the regenerative potential of the body is used up. But for many people, to be 120 years old does not seem desirable. Too big are the feared health restrictions in old age, which might make life less worth living.

In a recent article in the Austrian daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung, Dr. Wolfgang Grisold describes how polyneuropathies often occur as a consequence of diabetes and what this means for patients: „Süßer“ Angriff auf die Nerven (Sweet attack on the nerves, German only).
Originally used for treating kidney stones, extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) has extended its range of applications. Beneficial effects on bone fractures, chronic wounds and neural defects have been observed. The latter lead to the idea of ESWT for spinal cord injuries.
The results obtained at the LBI Trauma are promising – soon patients will be treated in course of the first clinical study.
