Newly-developed inhibitor for prostate cancer demonstrates significant potential

In Germany, more than 65,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, with 12,000 of them developing a treatment-resistant form that can lead to death. Researchers from the Medical Faculty at the University of Freiburg have developed a new active substance, KMI169, which targets an enzyme involved in the development of prostate cancer. This inhibitor has shown promise in combating resistant cancer cells.

Prostate cancer: Newly-developed inhibitor shows massive potential

More than 65,000 men fall ill with prostate cancer each year in Germany. Twelve thousand of them develop a treatment-resistant form which eventually ends in death. Now, a team of researchers from the Medical Faculty at the University of Freiburg has developed an active substance that might in future represent a new treatment option. This substance, known as KMI169, targets an enzyme that plays an important role in the development of prostate cancer. The inhibitor displayed massive potential in among others cancer cells that were resistant to conventional treatments.

Neue Landkarte des Immunsystems an Grenzregionen des Gehirns erstellt

Das Gehirn ist durch mehrere Barrieren vor potenziell schädlichen Einflüssen der Außenwelt abgegrenzt. Forscher*innen der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Freiburg gelang die Erstellung eines neuartigen Immunzellatlas dieser Grenzzonen des Gehirns mittels neuester, hochauflösender Methoden zur Untersuchung von Einzelzellen.
