Overlooked Immune Cells Predict Long-Term Survival in Lung Cancer

Researchers at the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), based at the Airway Research Center North (ARCN), have identified a previously overlooked cellular pattern in the tumor microenvironment that provides important insights into the long-term survival prospects of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The findings have been published in the European Journal of Cancer.

Why some plaques become dangerous

A spatial analysis of proteins in human blood vessels shows why some deposits tear more easily. A team from the DZHK site in Munich reports on this in Nature Cardiovascular Research.

Earlier and More Accurate Autism Diagnosis Through Digital Technology and AI

Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Germany currently takes, on average, until a child reaches seven years of age. This is far too late, as earlier support significantly improves developmental outcomes. Researchers at the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG) are working to fundamentally improve this process through digital technologies.

Smartphone Tests Spot Cognitive Decline Faster than Standard Method

People with “mild cognitive impairment” (MCI) are at higher risk of developing dementia. Indeed, many of them experience a gradual decrease in cognitive performance over time.

Funding from the DFG: New Project Investigates Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease

The link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease can be studied even more intensively in the future: The German Research Foundation (DFG) has announced that it will provide funding for the multi-site Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1774, “CARDIO-DIABETES-CROSSTALK.” Participants in the project include the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) and other researchers from the DZD.

First DZG Lower Saxony Day brings together researchers from five DZGs

#DZHK #DZL #DZIF #DZNE #DZKJ

At the first DZG Lower Saxony Day in Hanover, researchers from five German Centers for Health Research came together to foster interdisciplinary exchange and discuss faster pathways for translating medical innovations into patient care.

Seeing blood vessels without using a needle: imaging makes early heart disease visible through the skin

A new imaging technology enables detailed images of the smallest blood vessels to be taken directly through the skin – without invasive procedures. This could enable doctors to detect risks for cardiovascular disease earlier in the future. Researchers at the Munich site of the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research have developed the technology.
