Nanobodies against cancer: Researchers at UDE are testing tiny antibody fragments that can break down the tumour protein survivin with high specificity. The aim is to make cancer cells more vulnerable to therapy and explore new treatment options.

Lactate + iron = cellular shield? 🧬 Researchers from UDE & UKE propose a possible new defense against oxidative stress. This could open up new therapeutic opportunities for medicine. 👉 https://www.uni-due.de/2025-09-12-lactate-defends-cells-under-stress
Metaphorical representation of the cell's protective shield: the lactate molecule works together with iron as a defence system.
