Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can be used for medical training for surgeons and doctors.
CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are “living drugs” and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, with a “chimeric antigen receptor” (CAR) enables them to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells.
PicoQuant GmbH announces its investment in FluoBrick Solutions GmbH, a newly founded Berlin-based start-up focused on giving life science researchers in academia and pharma diagnostics access to the power of single molecule techniques.
A recent study links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents.
A new case report was published in Volume 12 of Oncoscience on September 15, 2025, titled “When strokes reveal a hidden malignancy: An atypical case of metastatic colorectal cancer with extensive thromboembolism.”
A new study involving the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) provides strong evidence that sugary drinks affect not only metabolic but also mental health – especially in women. This effect is probably mediated by the sensitive microbiome of the intestine.
Greek yogurt supplementation post-training significantly reduces inflammation markers in young males, offering insights into effective recovery nutrition.
