"Many of the affected women lead [...] possible counselling and care, even if the desire to have a child is not always feasible," explains Professor Olsson. The senior physician has been working on this issue for 15 years.

"We are a highly professional, extremely well-coordinated team." For example, up to 20 experts

The newly developed CT protocol of Professor Shin's team, on the other hand, provides all the information in just one step. To do this, the experts [...] two millimetres. "The quality of the images is clearly superior to that of a standard CT," notes Professor Dr Shin. With the new imaging options, there are better diagnostic possibilities, for example in

However, interdisciplinary collaboration has already enabled various alternative models [...] oxygen conditions in the intestine are different from those in the lung tissue in the breath," says Professor von Köckritz-Blickwede.

Responsible for this is a mutation in a gene called MYO7A, which Professor Schambach and his team are focusing on. If a person inherits the damaged gene from both father and [...] . "Since MYO7A is a very large gene, we need a gene taxi with a large boot, so to speak," says Professor Schambach.
