Personalized breast cancer therapy: A new treatment approach for patients with limited tamoxifen efficacy

Bosch Health Campus GmbH
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute of Clinical Pharmacology in Stuttgart has developed a pioneering therapeutic approach for breast cancer patients who respond poorly to the standard drug tamoxifen. The innovative combination therapy has been successfully tested in a clinical trial under the name TAMENDOX. The results have now been published in the renowned journal Clinical Cancer Research. The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space.

Binghamton University researchers use nanotubes to improve blood flow in bioengineered tissues

Binghamton University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Without proper vascular systems — even primitive ones — engineered tissue faces restricted size and functionality, even developing necrotic regions of dead cells. New research from Binghamton University’s Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science offers a possible solution to the problem.

The paper industry can become more energy-efficient with a new measurement method

Linköping University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The pulp and paper industry consumes large amounts of energy. But despite stricter EU requirements for efficiency improvements, there has been no way to measure and compare energy consumption between different companies in a fair way. In collaboration with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, now present a solution that has great potential to be used throughout the EU.

New low-cost, efficient single-photon source for powering future quantum internet

Tokyo University of Science
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Single-photon sources are key components of quantum communication technologies. However, conventional designs use decoupled single-photon emitters and photon transmission methods, resulting in high transmission loss, limiting practical applicability. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new method, where a single rare-earth ion is used to generate and guide single photons directly within an optical fiber at room temperature. It is low cost and can become a key component of upcoming quantum communication technologies.
