Bluttest zur Früherkennung von Krebs

Die heimliche Revolution der Krebsdiagnostik? Bluttests zur Krebsfrüherkennung könnten die Medizin revolutionieren. Die Idee: Mit einer einfachen Blutabnahme verschiedene Krebsarten frühzeitig und präzise erkennen. Dies würde Leben retten und die Heilungschancen verbessern, da eine Krebsdiagnose im Frühstadium oft die besten Aussichten auf Heilung bietet. Verschiedene Ansätze im Rennen Forscher verfolgen verschiedene Ansätze, um Krebs im Blut zu finden. Eine Möglichkeit ist die Suche nach zirkulierender Tumor-DNA (ctDNA). Krebszellen geben DNA ins Blut ab, die von gesunder DNA unterschieden werden kann. Andere Tests suchen nach Proteinen, Metaboliten oder Exosomen, die von Krebszellen freigesetzt werden. Vielversprechende Ergebnisse, aber noch offene Fragen Erste Studien zeigen vielversprechende Ergebnisse. So konnte der Galleri-Bluttest in einer Studie verschiedene Krebsarten mit hoher Sensitivität und Spezifität erkennen. Allerdings gibt es noch offene Fragen. So ist die Sensitivität der Tests noch nicht hoch genug, um alle Krebsfälle zu erfassen.…

Hyundai Bioscience: New Dengue antiviral candidate

  • News

South Korea’s biotechnology company Hyundai Bioscience (CEO Oh Sang-gi, www.hyundaibioscience.com) announced on April 15 that it would carry out global clinical tests aimed at treating all serotypes of Dengue virus infection. „The fundamental way to deal with Dengue fever is taking the antiviral drug, which is effective on all four serotypes of the Dengue virus, in the early stage of virus infection,“ CEO Oh said. „To win emergency use authorization (EUA), we are planning basket clinical trials in such regions as Mid/South America and Southeast Asia.“ After the COVID-19 pandemic is tamed, a mounting number of people are diagnosed with Dengue fever, a viral infection that spreads through mosquitoes. The number of Dengue patients in 2024 amounts to 3.58 million in the Americas, about three times more than 2023, while those stand at about 8,200 in Thailand and 18,000 in Malaysia. Dengue deaths have been 758 in Brazil this year. The death…

Gleichzeitige Markierung vieler Proteine gelungen

  • News

Proteine in Zellen präzise zu beobachten ist für viele Forschungszweige extrem wichtig, war bisher jedoch eine große technische Hürde – vor allem in lebenden Zellen, denn die dafür nötige fluoreszente Markierung musste an jedes Protein einzeln angebracht werden. Der Forschungsgruppe um Stefan Kubicek am CeMM ist es nun gelungen, diese Hürde aus dem Weg zu räumen: Mit einem Verfahren, dass sie „vpCells“ getauft haben, lassen sich viele Proteine gleichzeitig mit fünf verschiedenen Fluoreszenzfarben markieren. Die Studie wurde im Fachjournal Nature Cell Biology (DOI: 10.1038/s41556-024-01407-w) veröfffentlicht, und die Bilder sind öffentlich zugänglich auf vpcells.cemm.at. Die von Stefan Kubiceks Gruppe vorgestellte neue Methode „visual proteomics Cells“ (abgekürzt vpCells) erlaubt es dagegen, Proteine so mit Fluoreszenz zu markieren, dass ihre endogenen Regulationsmechanismen unverändert bleiben. Anstatt ein Protein nach dem anderen zu markieren, können damit viele Proteine gleichzeitig in einem sogenannten Multiplex-Ansatz mit einem…
