Press release - 09/07/2025 The evolution of cancer cells decoded Cancer can take decades for cancer-promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center have now developed a method that allows for the first time to reconstruct the temporal development—the evolution—of cancerous cells from a single tissue sample. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/evolution-cancer-cells-decoded
Press release - 08/07/2025 Five million euros for research into early cancer detection Investing in a healthier future: The HORNBACH Group is supporting the new National Cancer Prevention Center in Heidelberg with a donation of five million euros. In the future, a new laboratory will conduct research into more effective early detection and screening methods.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/fuenf-millionen-euro-fuer-die-forschung-zur-krebsfrueherkennung

Press release - 02/07/2025 Commission launches new strategy to make Europe a global leader in life sciences by 2030 The European Commission has launched a new strategy to make Europe the most attractive place in the world for life sciences by 2030. Life sciences – the study of living systems, from cells to ecosystems – are central to our health, environment and economy. They drive innovation in medicine, food and sustainable production, adding nearly €1.5 trillion in value to the EU economy and supporting 29 million jobs across the Union.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/kommission-verabschiedet-neue-strategie-fuer-eine-fuehrungsrolle-europas-bei-biowissenschaften-bis-2030
Computer tool opens up new ways to address antibiotic resistance - 02/07/2025 PhARIS identifies effective phages against multi-resistant bacteria Bacteriophages - viruses that specifically attack and destroy bacteria - are emerging as promising alternatives to antibiotics in the fight against drug-resistant infections. To speed this effort, researchers have created PhARIS, a computational tool that mines genomic data to pinpoint phages that are effective against S. aureus. By rapidly matching phage and pathogen, PhARIS can accelerate the development of targeted phage therapies.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/pharis-identifies-effective-phages-against-multi-resistant-bacteria
