The central nervous system (CNS) is an immune-privileged organ in which immune responses are strictly controlled. However, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) can still occur. Intrinsic brain tumors of the CNS, especially gliomas, are also often immunosuppressed by active processes.
The cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to such a dysregulation of the immune system in the CNS are not well understood. There is too much immune response in MS and too little in brain tumors. Therefore, we are interested in the control of CNS autoimmunity as well as in immunotherapeutic approaches for brain tumors and are developing innovative animal models and working with patient material. The aim of this work is the rapid translation of the findings into clinical studies.
