Insights into Research Field Health
The Helmholtz Association aims to use ground-breaking research to tackle the great questions of our time. Here, we present projects currently being carried out by scientists at the Helmholtz Centres. The examples range from fundamental questions concerning the origin of matter to health research and the development of high performance functional materials.
New neurons for old brains
It is a long-established fact that physical and mental activity can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Improving care for dementia patients
A large number of people with dementia are currently cared for at home, mostly by relatives who are supported by community services and their general practitioners. Early screening for colorectal cancer
Colorectal (colon) cancer develops slowly. Precancerous stages often take several years to develop into a dangerous cancer. These stages are easy to detect with a colonoscopy and can be removed during the examination. As a result, colorectal cancer can be prevented far more effectively through targeted screening than other types of cancer. New cell culture models to replace animal experiments
Animal studies are often prescribed for the development of drugs and methods of diagnosis and treatment. weiterlesen "New cell culture models to replace animal experiments"
