Quality standards for looking into the tumor genome
Personalized medicine with individually tailored therapies is becoming more and more a reality in cancer. This requires a precise look into the genetic material of tumors, a molecular diagnostic tumor profile. A research group from the German Network for Personalized Medicine (DNPM) has recorded the quality standards according to which genome analyses are carried out in Germany. The data is a prerequisite for integrating gene sequencing into routine care. The working group led by Professor Albrecht Stenzinger from the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University was in charge of the project.

Breakthrough in hydrogen research: More efficient isotope separation in sight
The lightest of all elements, hydrogen, is in great demand due to its promising role as a sustainable resource in the energy transition. A team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden, as part of the Hydrogen Isotopes 1,2,3H Research Training Group, has made an important breakthrough in the efficient and cost-effective provision of isotopes. These are the three forms in which hydrogen occurs in nature – as protium, deuterium or tritium. The international team of researchers has taken a big step towards realising its dream of separating hydrogen isotopes at room temperature at low cost. The team’s findings have just been published in the flagship journal Chemical Science.

Innovating alloy production: a single step from ores to sustainable metals
Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature.

Hexagonal electrohydraulic modules shape-shift into versatile robots
Embargo: Not for Release Until 2:00 pm U.S. Eastern Time Wednesday, 18 September 2024, 8pm German time. ● Scientists at MPI-IS have developed electrically driven robotic components, called HEXEL modules, which can snap together into high-speed reconfigurable robots. ● Magnets embedded along the outside of the modules allow them to electrically and mechanically connect to other modules, forming robots with diverse shapes and capabilities. ● HEXEL modules are a promising technology for use in resource-limited environments, such as on space or rescue missions, and can be used to construct versatile robots from redundant parts, altogether promoting a sustainable robot design.

Safe treatment method for atrial fibrillation study on pulsed field ablation with promising results
An international study involving the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) shows that pulsed field ablation is more effective, gentler and associated with fewer complications than other methods for treating atrial fibrillation. With the pulsed field method, the areas of the heart tissue responsible for the development of atrial fibrillation are specifically sclerosed by means of electrical impulses and not by heat or cold as with other methods. The results of the MANIFEST-17K study were published in the renowned journal Nature Medicine.
