Liver cancer is often detected too late. Researchers at the EKFZ at TU Dresden have developed an AI model that uses routine clinical data to estimate individual risk – potentially enabling earlier diagnosis. | more
The liver can heal itself – but exactly how this works has long remained a mystery. Researchers at the MPI-CBG in Dresden have now developed a tiny lab-grown model that recreates this process for the first time. It could help scientists better understand and treat liver diseases. | 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
Dresden researchers are sending tiny, laboratory-grown mini-livers into space. What weightlessness does to liver tissue should not only protect astronauts - but also open up new avenues in medicine. | more
Normal weight does not automatically mean healthy. Researchers in Leipzig have developed a new index that reveals hidden metabolic disorders. The metabolic BMI analyzes the blood and shows: One in three slim people has a greatly increased risk of diabetes and fatty liver. Intestinal bacteria play an important role in this. | more
Over two million people die of liver disease every year. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden have now developed a three-dimensional liver model from real patient cells. The mini-liver can mimic important functions and should help to better understand diseases, test new drugs and develop personalized therapies. The study was published in Nature. | 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
