At Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD), there is a new treatment option for certain patients with severe cardiac arrhythmias: an implantable defibrillator in which the electrode—unlike in conventional defibrillators—is placed outside the heart and blood vessels. This protects the blood vessels. In addition, the system can correct some arrhythmias using mild electrical impulses before an electric […]

Why do cancers develop differently in different people—even when they are exposed to the same risk factors? An international research group, including the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), has now demonstrated in mice that an organism’s genetic makeup significantly influences the course of cancer development. The findings, now published in Nature, provide new insights into […]

It has long been suspected that endothelial cells, the specialized cells lining the inner walls of blood vessels, play a key role in determining how the body’s immune system responds to tumors. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University have now identified, in mouse […]

Being overweight and obesity may contribute to significantly more cancer cases than previously thought. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). Their analysis shows that when more accurate measures of body fat and methodological biases are considered, more than 10 percent of all cancer cases can be attributed […]
