Jana Sonner

Honored to be part of this network. Looking forward to stimulating discussions with the other fellows 🚀

Have a look at the exciting publication of our #HertieNetwork Fellow @janasonner.bsky.social: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41540266/. It shows how the brain senses circulating stress signals and actively suppresses T cells in the spleen to protect the central nervous system from further insult.

We’re excited to introduce the new Hamburg #HertieNetwork fellows for the 3rd funding period: @felixfischbach.bsky.social, Märit Jensen, @brissiek.bsky.social & @janasonner.bsky.social. Looking forward to inspiring projects, discussions & collaboration across sites! #UKEHamburg #HertieStiftung

Extremely proud to see our work out in @natimmunol.nature.com. We believe this a big step towards understanding and harnessing brain-immune-interactions. Thanks to the team and our collaborators, as well as @dfg.de and @ekfstiftung.bsky.social for funding this study. #neuroinflammation #immunology

A GDF-15–GFRAL axis controls autoimmune T cell responses during neuroinflammation - Nature Immunology Here the authors show that endogenous or therapeutically delivered GDF-15 activates brainstem neurons that trigger splenic β-adrenergic signaling. This, in turn, suppresses autoreactive T cells and re...

Check out our latest research on how a neuron-immune axis modulates peripheral immune responses during multiple sclerosis. We discovered it by exploring pregnancy-associated immune modulation in multiple sclerosis. Special thanks to Jana Sonner and Audrey Kahn:

Come and visit Audrey (P401) and Aneta (P409) at today's poster session on #Neuroimmunology at the #IUIS2025. Their work and conference visit are supported by the @dfg.de and @dgfi-org.bsky.social.

Closing the DGfI Satellite Symposium with the President's Symposium. We congratulate all price winners, especially the young scientists from our community Philippa Meiser, Adam Wahida, Ali Maisam Afzali and Camilo Faust Akl.🥳🔬 @dgfi-org.bsky.social

Excited to travel to #Vienna to attend the #IUIS2025 including the #DGfI Satellite Symposium and share our work on #NeuroImmune crosstalk and #TcellImmunology in #Neuroinflammation.
