Stem cells implanted near spinal cord injuries spring into action to produce anti-inflammatory proteins – a function they do not display when isolated. This remarkable form of adaptation is what guided Prof. Dr. Antal Nógrádi’s research group in identifying the proteins most suitable for treating experimental spinal cord injuries in rodent models. To deliver the proteins, they began utilizing mRNA-based therapy as early as 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Professor Nógrádi, Head of the Department of Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology at the University of Szeged’s Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School, gave an interview following his presentation at the mRNA conference.

A scientific meeting was organised in memory of Dr. István Karády (1904-1974), Professor of Pathophysiology at the Department of Pathophysiology.
