Zahlreiche Krebserkrankungen führen zu soliden, also festen Tumoren. In ihrem Inneren weisen diese Tumore große Unterschiede auf zellulärer und molekularbiologischer Ebene auf. Eine Komponente ist die Lokalisation und Aktivität von sogenannten Fresszellen (Makrophagen)*. Obgleich diese Zellen essentiell für ein gesundes Immunsystems sind, spielen sie auch eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entwicklung von Tumoren. Mithilfe photosynthetischer Bakterien konnten nun neue optoakustische Methoden entwickelt werden, die aufzeigen, wo solche Fresszellen anwesend und aktiv sind.

AI depicts society together with the existing injustices!Artificial intelligence (AI) will of course be used in many areas of our society in the coming years - be it in medical diagnoses, in application procedures or in decisions about the creditworthiness of individuals. AI-based systems are based on algorithms invented by humans - and on data that they make available to them. In most cases, the human being is a man. The proportion of women studying computer science has been rising steadily for years.
