We are the Winkler Laboratory at the UKHD and DKFZ Heidelberg

Our focus: #cancerneuroscience of #braintumors ( #glioblastoma #brainmetastases), and beyond.
We use #intravitalimaging , #calciumimaging, #preclinicalmodels and more, to tackle these diseases
Intravital 2-photon microscopy shows how TPPB breaks tumor networks and boosts radiotherapy in mice.

Control+RT → network persists.
TPPB+RT → fewer tumor microtubes, network collapse, regional regression!

How to disconnect therapy-resistant tumor networks in glioblastoma?

In our paper, online @Cancer Discovery, we built an anti-tumor microtube (TM) screening pipeline and found that Protein Kinase C activators disrupt TMs, silence Ca²⁺ “pacemakers” and boost radiotherapy.
