Dear Readers, The BIO International Convention 2025 in Boston was held under the motto "The world can’t wait" – a fitting theme that underscores the importance of biotechnology in addressing pressing global health and sustainability issues. In a time when political and economic challenges dominate the discussion, it was refreshing to see that science, innovation, and cooperation offer the right solutions. The major topics of our HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg cluster, such as artificial intelligence in life sciences and healthcare, cell and gene therapy, alternative methods to animal testing, techbio, women's health, and global health, also played a significant role in the conference program in Boston. Our exhibitors, including the IGES Institute, Pherion, Campus Berlin-Buch, Biotech Rabbit, Nio Health, Pharmtrace, and FyoniBio, were very satisfied with the outcomes and the numerous valuable discussions. Particularly noteworthy are the promising approaches discussed in conversations with international partners such as the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, One Nucleus from the UK, or the international student network Nucleate. These encounters once again highlight the importance of transatlantic exchange for progress in the healthcare industry. Even though the sun doesn't always shine in Boston, the trip was well worth it. BIO 2025 demonstrated that we are strong together and that exchange and collaboration across borders are essential for our collective progress. Your Dr. Kai Bindseil Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie |

Tumor diagnostics: AI model detects more than 170 types of cancer |
| The MRI image shows a brain tumor in an inauspicious location, – and a brain biopsy will entail high risks for the patient, who had consulted us due to double vision. Situations such as this case discussion, cited by way of example, in a multidisciplinary team of cancer medicine experts prompted researchers at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, together with cooperation partners, to look for new diagnostic procedures. The result is an AI model. The model makes use of specific characteristics in the genetic material of tumors – their epigenetic fingerprint, obtained for example from cerebrospinal fluid, among other things. As the team shows in the journal Nature Cancer*, the new model classifies tumors quickly and very reliably. |

S100A1 identified as potential new biomarker for frailty in older patients with heart disease Frailty is a condition characterized by increased vulnerability and decline in physical function. It is a growing concern in the aging population, particularly among those with heart disease. A multidisciplinary research team led by the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE), the Faculty of Health Sciences (FGW) at the University of Potsdam and Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité has now identified the gene S100A1 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in muscle tissue of older patients with heart disease, offering the potential to counteract mobility loss and muscle weakness early on. The findings were published in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle.
