The $180 million Caresyntax GmbH recently raised in a series C extension round allows the company to accelerate the commercialization and adoption of its precision surgery platform, Bjorn von Siemens, CFO and CBO of Caresyntax told BioWorld.

Molecular Health GmbH believes that the integration of all the different types of data currently used to aid in the analysis of health conditions will be essential to the future of diagnostics.

Lindis Blood Care GmbH recently revealed excellent data from the Remove study that showed that its Catuvab device was safe and effective in removing tumor cells from intraoperative blood during high blood loss cancer surgeries.

The U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of Airamed GmbH’s Airascore software could see millions of people benefitting from early accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Airascore is a medical image management and processing system that uses deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to assess brain volumetry data on MRI scans in as little as five minutes.

The German med-tech associations Bvmed and VDGH have hit out at the shortcomings of the EU medical device regulations and are calling for action to improve implementation, predictability and transparency of the system.

A research team from Leipzig University, the Max Planck Institute and Heidelberg University, all in Germany, devised a new segmentation algorithm for stroke lesions that improves upon previous methods. They used machine-learning models to effect CT image segmentation in the early stages of acute stroke. The research team published their findings on the fully convolutional graph network in July in the Journal of Medical Imaging.

Isotope Technologies Munich SE (ITM) raised $280 million to support the expansion of its broad targeted radionuclide therapies oncology pipeline. This equity investment round was led by Temasek holdings Pte Ltd. with participation from Blackrock Alternatives, Qatar Investment Authority, Nextech Invest Ltd., Athos KG and Carbyne Equity Partners GmbH.

Using direct current to stimulate a chronic wound can help it to heal up to three times faster, researchers from Chalmers Institute of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Freiburg, Germany, found. Working from a well-known hypothesis that the skin is electrostatic, the researchers engineered a microfluidic biochip on which skin cells were cultured. They then made tiny wounds in two cells. One was allowed to heal naturally while the other was stimulated with electricity.
