Ladenburg, Germany, 26 August 2026 – Heidelberg Pharma AG (FSE: HPHA), a clinical-stage biotech company developing innovative Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), today announced that the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted Clinical Trial Approval for a Phase Ib/II clinical trial evaluating pamlectabart tismanitin (HDP-101), the Company’s novel BCMA-targeting ADC, in combination therapy for the […]

Internal protective mechanism responds to the very first signs of mitochondrial dysfunction Mitochondria – the powerhouses of the cell – have their own monitoring system that detects oxidative stress at a very early stage. It activates protective mechanisms even before the damage caused by this stress can spread to the rest of the cell. This […]

Heidelberg-based biotech company REVIER Therapeutics has officially launched. The company, which emerged from research conducted at the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) and Heidelberg University, is developing a novel therapeutic approach for cardiometabolic diseases. REVIER has raised €6 million in seed funding to advance its development programs. At the heart of REVIER’s approach are […]

The European research project THEODORA is launching during “Gold September”, the international childhood cancer awareness month. Researchers at the Heidelberg Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, drawing on their expertise in clinical research and precision oncology at Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ), are collaborating with Institut Curie in Paris, Prinses Máxima Centrum in Utrecht, and […]

Heidelberg research team develops a polymer material that can be broken down into its individual components and reused Polymers used for light-based 3D printing are very stable due to their chemical structure, but they are typically hard to recycle. A research team led by Prof. Dr. Eva Blasco, a researcher at the Institute for Molecular […]

Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM* Stem Cell Institute have identified a previously unknown mechanism by which a particularly aggressive form of colon cancer evades the immune system. The findings show that the activation of a key signaling pathway helps cancer cells suppress the immune system, thereby promoting the development […]

A team led by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM* Stem Cell Institute, and Medical Clinic V at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) has characterized T cells in the bone marrow in cases of multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia: A specific group of tumor-reactive T cells can recognize and, in principle, […]

KIT researchers offer a new perspective on N-acetylated amino acids as potential buffers in cellular energy and metabolic balance When muscles work intensively or brown adipose tissue produces heat in response to cold, metabolism shifts into high gear. Under these conditions, levels of so-called N-acetylated amino acids increase. These are chemically modified amino acids to […]
