Alumnus Bastian Linder discusses the origin of this start-up and how a tRNA mechanism is helping scientists understand the importance and use of various RNA modifications as they pertain to disease. With just two dots above a letter, the German umlaut can instantly change a word’s pronunciation, its quantity (singular to plural), or even its […]

Chordomas are rare bone tumors for which there are currently no effective drugs. A research team from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg has now developed a promising approach: Tailor-made mini-proteins specifically block the central driver of tumor development. In the result, they slowed the growth […]

A team of scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Netherlands Cancer Institute has discovered a previously unknown vulnerability in cancer cells: When cell division is blocked with chemotherapeutic agents such as Taxol, cancer cells produce small immunogenic peptides that could open up new avenues for immune-based cancer therapies. Frequent cell division […]
