🧪Four years of #funding for personalized #cancertherapy!

The goal of the new LOEWE research cluster coordinated by Professor Torsten Frosch at TU Darmstadt is to measure drug levels directly at the bedside for immediate personalized adjustments.

GSI/FAIR Materials Research, led by Professor Toimil-Molares, is contributing with the development of special polymer membranes and sensors.

I saw a scientifically and potentially clinically rather interesting presentation from Sniper therapeutics, this morning. But do we really need to militarize our technique and therapy names?

What was wrong with the original name Super Engagers?
Additionally, the mechanism of action here seems to be more 'close combat' than 'sniper'.

Scientists have created a tiny DNA-based robot that can kill cancer cells by targeting them with incredible precision—without affecting healthy cells. This DNA nanodevice stays inactive in normal body conditions but springs into action only in the acidic environment found inside tumors. When it reaches a tumor, it unfolds and displays a special pattern of peptides (tiny protein fragments) that trigger cancer cells to self-destruct.
