Tribute to the late Prof. Stefan Angielski
With profound grief we inform of the sad demise of Prof. Stefan Angielski MD PhD on 22nd April, 2022
An eminent and passionate scholar, the author of over 200 publications, 12 textbooks on clinical biochemistry, analytics and nephrology. He supervised 36 PhD disertations. He was a long-term member of the Scientific Council of MMRI PAS and the Head of the Clinical and Research Department of Molecular and Cellular Nephrology MMRI PAS. He was awarded the title of honoris causa doctor of Gdańsk University for his fundamental contribution to the establishment of modern school of clinical biochemistry and for his engagement in the integration of university and medical environments. He was a wonderful and righteous Man of personal charm and great modesty.
Deep condolences to the family.
Management and employees of MMRI PAS
Professor Angielski in the memoirs of prof. Andrzej Ziemba
Last respects from Professor’s team of researchers:
With deep sorrow and regret we received the news of the death of Professor Stefan Angielski, our Mentor and Friend, an outstanding Researcher, a Man of great heart. Professor Stefan Angielski created the first Polish Department of Clinical Biochemistry, he was a specialist in pathobiochemistry of kidneys, the Rector of the Medical University of Gdańsk and a long-term employee of Mossakowski Medical Research Institute Polish Academy of Sciences. He will be remembered as a Man of numerous talents and interests who was able to inspire further generations with his scientific passion. Professor’s inimitable sense of humour created a unique and welcoming atmosphere in our Laboratory. We say goodbye to the Man who was sensitive to other people’s wellbeing and always ready to help.

„Folia Neuropathologica” in Termedia
Termedia has released recently the article published by 4 scientists from our Institute: Anna Sarnowska MD, PhD, DSc, Magdalena Chodkowska MSc, Anna Figiel-Dąbrowska MSc and Monika Sypecka MSc, which appeared in the "Folia Neuropathologica" journal published by MMRI PAS together with the Association of Polish Neuropathologists. The authors of the manuscript described their own preclinical and clinical experiences and compared them with the results of other scientists working with mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). In the article, the authors analyzed the factors that could increase the effectiveness of MSC-based therapy in patients with central nervous system disorders.

„Folia Neuropathologica” in Termedia
The Termedia portal has published an article entitled "Alterations in the transcriptional profile of genes related to glutamatergic signalling in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. The effect of fingolimod", which was published in the "Folia Neuropathologica" journal issued by MMRI PAS together wiht the Association of Polish Neuropathologists. Its authors are 4 scientists from our Institute: Grzegorz Sulkowski PhD, Przemyslaw Leonard Wencel PhD, Beata Dabrowska-Bouta PhD, prof. Lidia Struzynska PhD and prof. Robert Strosznajder PhD.
A glutaminergic system dysfunction has been reported to be involved in the pathomechanism of the Alzheimer’s Disease. The study analysed the transcriptional profile of the genes related to the glutaminergic system homeostasis and the effect of fingolimod in the animal model of this disease. Genes encoding glutamate membrane-bound and vesicular transporters as well as ionotropic and metabotropic receptors were also analysed.

Congratulations!
Heartfelt congratulations to the winners of Weave – UNISONO: MMRI PAS researcher, Prof. Joanna Sypecka and her team!
In collaboration with the researchers from the University in Lausanne, they will conduct research into the role of autophagy in oligodendrocytes in hypoxic-ischemic perinatal brain injuries. Polish researcher will obtain jointly over PLN 1,8 million for the research: PLN 1,68 million from National Science Centre and CHF 450,000 from the leading agency, Swiss National Science Foundation. The proposal by Polish-Swiss research team was assessed according LAP procedure by Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). Despite significant advances in neonatology and perinatal care, neonatal asphyxia still poses a challenge as the most common cause of brain injury in the newborn. Innovation research conducted within the awarded research project will enable for the understanding of the intracellular mechanisms that lead to pathomorphological changes in the nervous tissue, which may potentially result in the new and effective therapies to prevent the consequences of the injury.
