Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM* Stem Cell Institute, and the Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) have developed “HemaGuide,” an AI assistant that supports physicians in making difficult treatment decisions. In extensive testing, the system has shown a high degree of agreement with the recommendations of experienced experts and could significantly improve […]

Robots that can learn and adapt require not only data, AI tools, and algorithms but also direct communication with their users. Jens Kober would like to improve this interaction and as the new head of a research team at Fraunhofer IPA, he is focusing in particular on construction robotics. Whether helping out around the house, […]

A novel vaccination strategy against certain malignant brain tumors could fundamentally improve treatment for patients. Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Mannheim University Medical Center, Heidelberg University Hospital, and numerous partner institutions* have published encouraging long-term results from a clinical trial involving a vaccine that activates the immune system against a common genetic […]

Chicago, IL & Rockville, MD – June 23, 2026 – VectorBuilder, a global leader in gene delivery technologies and CDMO services, and MaxCyte, a leading, cell-engineering company providing enabling platform technologies to […]

KyooBe Tech is making its innovative vaccine development platform available to industry and research partners:Enabling faster and scalable vaccine production using Low-Energy Electron Irradiation (LEEI). Flexible Vaccine Manufacturing for Emerging Infectious Diseases Recent infectious disease events—from hantavirus outbreaks and meningitis cases to recurring disease outbreaks in livestock farming—highlight the need for flexibly scalable vaccine manufacturing […]

For his research on the development of rare malignant tumors in the hereditary DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome, Dr. Felix Kommoss has been awarded the Rudolf Virchow Prize of the German Society of Pathology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pathologie, DGP) – the most prestigious research award in the field of pathology in Germany. Dr. Kommoss conducts research […]

Researchers from EMBL, LUMC, and collaborators reanalysed nearly 6,800 gut microbiome profiles, revealing a consistent microbial signature of colorectal cancer Summary Researchers have long suspected that the gut microbiome – the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in the intestine – is closely linked to colorectal cancer. In a new study published in Cell Host […]

Scientists have shown how the edges of biological tissues create geometric constraints that help cells position themselves in a magnet-like manner, giving rise to structure and order inside developing embryos Summary One of the most striking biological transitions in nature happens early in development, when an embryo transforms from a simple ball of cells into […]

EMBL Grenoble researchers have developed unique instruments automating sample preparation and quality control for cryo-electron microscopy Summary Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former Group Leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson for the development […]
