To optimize the treatment plan for radiotherapy is time consuming and requires high memory and CPU. We developed the “Local Dose Shaping for Planning Treatment in Radiotherapy” as a method to simplify this process. The physician can use intuitive computer animation (i.e. „“dose lines can be moved by drag an drop““) to address individual local dose requirements.

The current invention provides a prophylactic HPV vaccine. Immunization against peptides from the HPV L2 protein gives a robust immune reaction that provides cross-protection against a variety of other high-risk HPV strains. Tha vaccine is based on a thioredoxin-L2 construct and can be produced in standard E. coli bacteria, which makes a cost-effective production feasible.

Rocaglamide makes tumour cells more susceptible to anti-proliferative agents while leaving normal cells unaffected. This allows dose reduction of apoptosis inducers and in parallel improves dramatically the patient’s condition during cancer treatment.

The invention provides a needle-based navigation system for CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of the liver. The key facts are: (1) Precise intervention and navigation aid for soft tissue surgery; (2) Real-time observation and supervision; (3) Inexpensive hardware/software equipment

Radiotherapy is a well-established method to treat certain tumor types in particular brain tumors. For fixation of the patient's head a “mask” is used, with is connected to the plate where the patient is located on. The novel technology describes a non-invasive procedure, where the patient mask is produced by rapid prototyping based on CT/MR data.

Specific inhibition of histone deacetylases by BMP4 efficiently restores aberrant signaling pathways and biological features in experimental neuroblastoma at nanomolar concentration without unfavorably targeting untransformed cells. In addition, recombinant manufactured BMP4 is already established for other indications (osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes), which should support the approval for this new indication.
