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
Tiny robots that navigate through the body without sensors and deliver drugs to their target. Researchers at Leipzig University have shown that this is possible. Their microswimmers learn from their own movements. An important step for the medicine of tomorrow. | more

Migraine attacks return several times a month for many patients. Yet millions of people still do not receive treatment tailored to their needs. The MIGRA-MD study aims to change this with a digital, personalised approach. Dresden University Hospital is taking part and is looking for participants from the region. | more
Blood cancer affects tens of thousands of people in Germany. For many, a stem cell transplant is the last hope. But which preparation for this procedure helps the most, especially for older or previously ill patients? Researchers at Dresden University Hospital and Kiel University Hospital now want to find out in the largest German study of its kind. | more
Around one in three stroke patients suffers a relapse - often just a few days after the initial cerebral infarction. Doctors at TU Dresden are now starting a large nationwide study with 2,100 participants. They want to find out whether a combination of two drugs provides better protection against a second stroke than the current standard therapy. The Federal Ministry of Research is funding the project with three million euros. | more
Zahnbehandlungen können in Deutschland schnell zur finanziellen Belastung werden. Besonders bei Implantaten, Kronen, Brücken oder umfangreichem Zahnersatz liegen die Kosten häufig im vierstelligen Bereich. Viele Patienten stehen dann vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung: Behandlung durchführen lassen und hohe Eigenanteile zahlen – oder den Eingriff aufschieben, obwohl er medizinisch sinnvoll wäre. | more
How do cells talk to each other? A team at TU Dresden has succeeded in making the most important sensors on the cell surface visible for the first time. The so-called proteoglycans receive signals and control how cells grow and react. The new method could help to better understand cancer and develop new therapies in the future. | more
In future, nanoparticles will be used to distribute drugs in the body in a targeted manner. But how does the blood react to these tiny helpers? A study from Dresden shows that both the mass and number of particles are crucial. | more
VmedD bringt moderne Radartechnologie dorthin, wo sie wirklich gebraucht wird: In die eigenen vier Wände. Denn der Wunsch ist klar: So lange wie möglich selbstständig zu Hause wohnen. Gleichzeitig wächst bei Angehörigen die Sorge vor unbemerkten Stürzen oder nächtlichen Notfällen. Genau hier verbindet VmedD innovative Sensortechnik mit echter Alltagstauglichkeit – für mehr Sicherheit im Alter. | more
Is it possible to find people more likeable through thought alone? Yes, say researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Their study shows: Imagination changes the brain in a similar way to real experiences. This opens up new opportunities for therapy and relationships. | more
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have developed a molecular marker to help doctors choose the right bladder cancer therapy. The radiotracer NECT-224 makes visible whether tumors carry a certain protein to which modern drugs can dock. In summer 2025, it was used successfully for the first time on a patient at Dresden University Hospital. | more
