Press release - 23/05/2024 Predicting cancer risks on the basis of national health data Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the European Bioinformatics Institute EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, UK, are using the Danish health registers to predict individual risks for 20 different types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The prediction model can also be transferred to other healthcare systems. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/predicting-cancer-risks-basis-national-health-data
Innovation in emergency medicine - 23/05/2024 CARL pushes back the boundaries of resuscitation therapy Few people survive a cardiac arrest; blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs and the resulting lack of oxygen causes extensive damage to the body. In response to this, researchers at the University Medical Centre Freiburg and Resuscitec GmbH have developed CARL, an innovative resuscitation system, which – in addition to the oxygen level – adjusts numerous blood parameters to individual patient requirements. This greatly improves…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/carl-pushes-back-boundaries-resuscitation-therapy
Press release - 22/05/2024 Stretched beyond the limits of the cell: the molecular biomechanics of collagen Together with colleagues from Israel and USA, HITS researcher Frauke Gräter investigates the effects of physical force on the collagen protein in two different animal model systems. Their goal is to measure the effects of mechanoradicals on the integrity of the tissue and the well-being of the organism, with impact on health and aging.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/stretched-beyond-limits-cell-molecular-biomechanics-collagen

That is why scientists are looking for characteristic tumors markers that allow to make predictions about the likely response to certain therapies and the individual prognosis. The aim is to identify colorectal cancer subtypes so that these can then be treated in a customized manner. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/colorectal-cancer-tracking-down-subtypes
Press release - 15/05/2024 Tumour tissue on a chip: new possibilities for cell therapies and personalized medicine How do tumors react to a certain therapeutic approach? Knowing this before the start of a therapy would be of enormous value for people suffering from cancer as well as for the doctors treating them. Researchers have now made this very observation possible for the CAR-T cell therapy. This allows us to individually investigate how exactly these tumor cells react to the planned therapy.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/tumour-tissue-chip-new-possibilities-cell-therapies-and-personalized-medicine
