New research findings on life-threatening disease of the baby's lungs

Doctors in Leipzig have made important progress in research into congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a serious malformation that is fatal in around a third of affected newborns.

The team led by Dr Richard Wagner from the University of Leipzig discovered that this disease is associated with inflammatory processes and an increased presence of immune cells in the lungs. Together with Canadian colleagues, the team also showed that cell components from amniotic fluid stem cells can have an anti-inflammatory effect. These findings, which were recently published in the journal Science Advances, provide new insights into possible therapies, but are still a long way from clinical application. Dr Wagner's research has already received several awards, most recently the Richard Drachter Prize from the German Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Surgery.
