Study confirms PSA screening improves survival and safety

After 23 years of follow-up, the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) confirmed a 13% lower prostate cancer mortality with PSA testing and an improved harm–benefit ratio over time. Risk-based screening could sustain mortality gains while reducing overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells promote blood vessel growth after stroke

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, affecting 1 in 4 people during their lifetime. Stroke happens when blood vessels in the brain get clogged or damaged, impairing blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain, which leads to death of neurons and other brain cells.

New method yields up to twice as many therapeutic myogenic cells as previous protocols

If cancer is a disease of overabundance, where cells divide without restraint and tumors grow despite the body's best interests, then degenerative diseases are disorders of deprivation.

Minimal fibers enable communication between brain hemispheres

Just a few fibers are enough for the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate with each other. This was shown by a new international study led by Professor Dr Michael Miller (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Professor Dr Lukas J. Volz (Department of Neurology at University Hospital Cologne and the University of Cologne's Faculty of Medicine) in close collaboration with Professor Dr Christian Bien's team at the Bethel Epilepsy Centre (University Hospital OWL at Bielefeld University).
