This new 2D-actuator enables ultrasonic assisted drilling, milling or grinding of brittle-hard materials like ceramic, glass, silicium carbides or hardened
steel. It can be used in combination with existing machining centres. Operating at low frequency it allows the compensation of thermal and geometric faults at the workpiece as well.
The bone drilling apparatus effectively prevents overheating of the bone tissue by individually adjusting the coolant supply to the heat developed during a procedure. It implements a real-time measurement device, drill and regulating device for the coolant
pumping system.
The development of receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in recent decades was a major step forward in cancer treatment. However, despite their clinical efficacy, therapy with TKIs is limited by strong side effects (such as skin rash) and development of resistance. New approaches are required
to overcome these drawbacks. Complexing the TK Inhibitor with Cobalt (Co3+) inactivates the inhibitor until it is released under the hypoxic conditions in the target tumour tissue. This approach promises effective treatment with considerably limited side effects. These complexes can be used as an alternative to existing
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Inhibitors, and were effective in tumour cells that have become resistant to conventional Treatments due to EGFR mutations like T790M.
