Cancer researchers in Dresden have tested a new immunotherapy that specifically targets the body's own immune system against tumor cells. The initial results are promising. They could help patients for whom other therapies no longer work. | more
Detecting leukemia relapses before they become visible: A long-term study from Dresden shows how molecular blood tests could transform blood cancer treatment. | more
Schnell auf Asphalt, sicher auf Schotter und bequem genug für längere Touren: Gravelbikes und Crossbikes gehören zu den vielseitigsten Fahrrädern überhaupt. Zum Saisonende reduziert Die Fahrrad-Kette zahlreiche Modelle und gewährt teilweise mehr als 50 % Rabatt. | more
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden are using hydrogels to recreate tumors in the laboratory. The models could provide important new insights into cancer research. | more
Irradiating a tumor while it moves with every breath is one of the major challenges in cancer treatment. Researchers in Dresden are working to solve this problem using a globally unique device and €1.1 million in research funding. | more
Special receptors on our cells can take up to 100 days to cleave themselves – far too slow to function properly. Researchers at Leipzig University have now discovered why this happens – and how it can be changed. Their findings could pave the way for new drugs to treat cancer and neurological diseases. | more
Schon wieder zu viel gegessen oder eine wichtige Aufgabe aufgeschoben? Oft reagieren wir auf solche Verhaltensweisen mit Selbstkritik. Doch damit bekämpfen wir meist nur das sichtbare Symptom – und übersehen, was wir in diesem Moment wirklich brauchen. | more
Gut bacteria could help make cancer therapies more effective. The international METRICs project, led by TU Dresden, is exploring this with around €2 million in funding and partners across three continents. | more
Why do some tiny tumors survive while others disappear? Researchers from Dresden and Cambridge have a surprising answer: cancer cells build their own protective zone. | more
Zum Saisonausklang fallen bei Die Fahrrad-Kette die Preise: Zahlreiche Fahrräder und E-Bikes sind deutlich reduziert, einzelne Modelle sogar um mehr als 50 Prozent. Zur besseren Übersicht findest Du einen Kaufberater. Und wir haben einige besonders interessante Angebote herausgesucht – von alltagstauglichen E-Bikes bis zu Gravel- und CUBE-Modellen.

A single scan covering the entire body – this could soon become reality in Dresden. With EU funding, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) will receive a state-of-the-art whole-body PET scanner. The device could help detect cancer earlier while reducing radiation exposure for patients. | more
Cancer defeated, but the consequences remain: many brain tumor survivors still suffer from the long-term effects of radiotherapy years after their treatment. A research team at TU Dresden is now investigating these late effects – supported by more than two million euros in funding and with patients actively involved as research partners. | more
Dresden erwartet 1.500 KI-Fachleute: Bei der Brains on Silicon geht es um Umsetzung statt Theorie. Zwei-Tages-Tickets gibt es mit 60 Euro Rabatt nur noch heute. | more
Researchers in Dresden have discovered a protein in the blood that reveals how aggressive a prostate tumor is. Following further tests, MMP11 could be used as a simple blood test in the future and make cancer therapy more targeted. | more
When breast cancer affects the bone, it begins behind the scenes. Until now, this process could hardly be observed. Researcher Jana Sievers-Liebschner from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden and her colleagues have developed a gel model that mimics bone tissue in a deceptively realistic way. This makes it possible for the first time to observe how cancer cells penetrate the bone - and what can stop them. | more

Thousands of molecules are located in our cells and control how the body reacts to stimuli. Some of them are still barely known to researchers, although they are involved in cancer, heart disease and bone loss. Researchers at Leipzig University have now pooled 30 years of knowledge about these molecules in a study. They want to make new drugs possible. | more
