so-called methylation tests to monitor the progression of precancerous lesions on the cervix. Methylation values provided information on the severity of the precancerous stage. "The test can help us to care [...] the methylation markers MFAM19A4 and miR124-2. A screening test was done in 127 women with and without pre-cancerous cervical disease. The test showed low levels of methylation in those with unremarkable [...] to the increased risk of premature birth. However, with such a test, precancerous lesions could be monitored well. "There are already test procedures that can be used in routine care," says Hillemanns.

Hanover region will receive HPV self-tests Through random sampling, 20,000 women from the Hannover region aged 30 to 65 will be provided with an HPV self-test. The self-test can be done at home and then sent [...] have a cell smear taken from the cervix once a year, the so-called Pap test, to detect cell changes. From the age of 35, they are tested for human papilloma viruses every three years in combination with the [...] who do not want to come to a doctor's office is through HPV self-testing. "In other countries, such as the Netherlands, HPV self-testing is already established. In Germany, there is very limited experience

autoantibodies can be detected by blood test. "Our new test closes a diagnostic gap and helps to improve patient care," emphasises the physician. With the new test, which already provides results within [...] to test the reliability of the new test on several hundred blood samples from other member centres of the European Network for Rare Liver Diseases (ERN rare liver). The aim now is to make the test available [...] Medical School (MHH), has now developed a new antibody test that can be used to diagnose the disease more quickly and reliably than previous standard tests. For this purpose, the scientists examined more than

In the delivery room, in the paediatric clinic and for relatives of patients receiving palliative care, the previously

The construction and testing of these tests will be advanced within the Attract group [...] cosmetics are already being tested today, could - enriched with immune cells - reproduce the reactions of a human organism even better. It would also be conceivable to test the air quality with such cells [...] (MHH) and researcher of the RESIST Cluster of Excellence, wants to use standardised immune cells to test the efficacy and safety of drugs. For this project, he is also building the project "IMMUNITY - Designer

It consists of testing healthy individuals for BRCA1/2 and MMR gene variants only from adulthood onwards, should [...] l research team conducted a meta-analysis based on 11 studies that included results on germline testing of a total of 3,775 children and adolescents suffering from cancer. Another cohort of children and

For the future further longitudinal studies and the expansion of the test battery are [...] "However, the frequency of cognitive impairment, at around 20 percent in at least two cognition tests, is much lower than assumed from previous studies," explains Professor Trebst. The cognitive impairments [...] provided valuable information on the cognitive limitations of NMOSD patients. Neuropsychological tests and questionnaires The study was conducted from 2015 to 2021.

LFS test criteria should be adapted "Our results help to better [...] pathogenic TP53 germline variants in individuals who do not meet previously established clinical LFS testing criteria. This has led to a "Li-Fraumeni Spectrum" classification that reflects the disease spectrum [...] finding that a substantial proportion of patients are missed when using the previously established LFS test criteria suggests that the criteria need to be revised," emphasises Professor Kratz, who, besides

Until now, this has mostly been done using animal tests, animal products [...] products or the so-called monocyte activation test (MAT). But the use of animal tests and products must be avoided - also because they do not adequately reflect human physiology in some cases and because the [...] says Professor Lachmann. The new immune cells also make it possible to develop further pioneering test procedures to advance health research in Germany. The innovation could be advanced thanks to the
