1,2 million euros for the Leipzig Medical Biobank
Our Leipzig Medical Biobank receives 2020 million euros for investments from the immediate program "Start 1,2" of the Free State. Saxony's Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow informed about this today. "I am pleased that with these additional funds the technical infrastructure of the Leipzig Medical Biobank - which has been a central infrastructure of the LIFE Research Center for Civilization Diseases at the Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig since 2010 as part of Saxony's State Excellence Initiative - can be modernized and the storage capacity expanded." , according to Gemkow.

With the molecular "vacuum cleaner" against anemia in senile leukemia
In people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a mostly benign form of senile leukemia, the body produces too few functional blood cells. They suffer from anemia, also known as "anaemia", which can be a precursor to acute leukemia. So far, there have been hardly any treatment options for patients other than regular blood transfusions. The drug luspatercept, which acts like a "vacuum cleaner" in a figurative sense, was able to significantly improve the blood values of those affected in a study by the German MDS study group. The worldwide follow-up study led by Prof. Dr. Uwe Platzbecker has confirmed the effectiveness of the preparation. It was recently published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine
