Project SMARTGAIT - 13/09/2023 Safe and cost-effective analysis of neurological gait disorders with AI Stroke, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis often resulting in gait disorders in those affected. Gait analyses play a crucial role in the successful evaluation and therapy of such disorders. Current measurement methods are costly and time-consuming. The SMARTGAIT project is therefore developing an innovative AI-based system aimed at performing meaningful gait analyses with the help of simple smartphone video recordings.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/safe-and-cost-effective-analysis-neurological-gait-disorders-ai

Press release - 10/08/2023 Computer-aided cell analysis for faster diagnosis of blood diseases Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute have developed an AI system that recognizes and characterizes white and red blood cells in microscopic images of blood samples. The algorithm can help physicians diagnose blood disorders and is available as an open source method for research purposes.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/computergestuetzte-zellanalyse-fuer-die-schnellere-diagnose-von-blutkrankheiten
Help with osteoarthritis of the knee - 27/09/2023 Individualised knee-joint cartilage: artificial tissue that fits Knee joints are subject to considerable stress throughout our lives. The natural shock absorber cartilage wears out over a lifetime, so many people develop knee osteoarthritis. Treatment is available in the form of artificial cartilage. This "off-the-shelf" tissue often does not grow well. Researchers are developing an individualised cartilage replacement made from biomaterial that is produced by 3D printing based on MRI images.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/individualised-knee-joint-cartilage-artificial-tissue-fits

Press release - 28/08/2023 Innovative computational approach helps design proteins for cancer treatment The computational design of new proteins for biomedical or other applications involves long computing times on powerful servers. A joint team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and the University Hospital Tübingen has now developed and tested a new computational method to greatly speed up the necessary energy calculations. Their framework allows for a precise and efficient design of functional proteins.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/innovative-computational-approach-helps-design-proteins-cancer-treatment
Press release - 21/09/2023 Mutation-specific peptide vaccine against midline gliomas used in patients for the first time Tumor vaccines can help the body fight cancer. These vaccines alert the patient's immune system to proteins that are harbouring cancer-typical alterations. Physicians and cancer researchers from Heidelberg and Mannheim have now treated adult patients with advanced midline gliomas, difficult-to-treat brain tumors, with a peptide vaccine for the first time.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/mutation-specific-peptide-vaccine-against-midline-gliomas-used-patients-first-time
Press release - 19/09/2023 Better distinguish chronic inflammation and cancer of the pancreas Current diagnostic methods do not always reliably distinguish between chronic inflammation of the pancreas and pancreatic cancer. About one third of all diagnoses are inconclusive. Scientists from the German Cancer Research (DKFZ) and from Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) therefore searched for molecular markers that could specify this diagnosis.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/chronische-entzuendung-und-krebs-der-bauchspeicheldruese-praeziser-unterscheiden
Dossier - 11/10/2023 The quantum revolution in the healthcare industry From ultra-fast quantum computers to highly sensitive sensors - quantum technologies could take medicine a giant step forward. Possible areas of application range from drug development and early cancer detection to reading brain waves to control prostheses or exoskeletons. The German state of Baden-Württemberg plays a key role in the development of sensors in particular.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/dossier/The-quantum-revolution-in-the-healthcare-industry
Nanoparticles as drug carriers - 09/11/2023 Inhalation of nanocarriers for antibiotics against resistant tuberculosis pathogens Around ten million people worldwide still contract tuberculosis every year. With an estimated 1.4 million deaths a year, tuberculosis was the world’s deadliest infectious disease until COVID-19. The high mortality rate is down to the sophisticated biology of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A team of researchers from the KIT and the Research Centre Borstel (FZB) has developed a method that aims to outsmart the bacterium once and for all.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/inhalation-nanocarriers-antibiotics-against-resistant-tuberculosis-pathogens
