Patients with a heart attack must be treated promptly. However, due to unclear ECG findings or biomarker results, it can be difficult to assess whether coronary revascularization, such as stent implantation or bypass surgery, is necessary. In this study, a deep learning model was developed that identifies ECG patterns that indicate the need for revascularization.

Tracking the tumor: Research trio from Münster deciphers the strategie of lymphatic cancer cells

Cancer cells are masters of camouflage: They mutate, hide, and thus evade therapies. Researchers at the University of Münster are therefore studying the genetic secrets of tumors. Their goal: to discover how cancer cells develop in the body, defy therapies, and cause relapses.
