In the summer of 2024, Mika was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In the video, Mika explains how his “strawberry filling station” works. 🍓⛽
Although he has a 90 percent chance of being cured, the treatment is an enormous burden for the boy and his family, both physically and mentally. That’s why the family also receives psychological support at the Helios Kliniken Schwerin.

To help him cope with this difficult time, Mika's father Jens Mehnert started a blog about Mika's journey (German only): www.mikasweg2024.de

We‘re sending him our best wishes for strength, health, and happiness on his journey ahead! We‘re sending him our best wishes for strength, health, and happiness on his journey ahead! 🎗️

A real revolution in treatment of breast cancer! 🎗️

“Ninety percent of the women who were given an antibody–drug conjugate are still alive ten years later”, says Prof. Michael Untch, chief physician in the gynecology and obstetrics department and head of the certified centers for breast cancer and gynecological cancers at Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch.

He and an international research team recently published the promising results of a global long-term study involving breast cancer patients who were treated with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The new ADCs enable a much more targeted and therefore highly effective form of therapy to be administered – that is what is so special about it.

CAR-T cell therapy is one of the most innovative gene and cell therapies. The production process, however, is highly complex because each course of CAR-T cell therapy is individually tailored to each patient. 🧑‍🔬

The R&D Team Transfusion and Cell Therapies at Fresenius Kabi USA develops devices for the CAR-T cell therapy, trying to democratize the process and enabling broader patient access to these innovative treatments.

In a recent interview, Christopher Wegener, Director, Cell Therapy R&D, talks about the early days of device development for CAR-T cell therapy and how he sees the future of cell processing in the next five to ten years.🧫

The so-called CAR-T cell therapies are among the most innovative therapy options for malignant blood cancers, for example. They require the patient’s living cells, which are then prepared in a special way using an intricate process.🧫The entire production process for these cell-based therapeutics is extremely complex and logistically challenging, making therapeutic applications expensive and limiting their accessibility.

Fresenius Kabi is developing and producing two new devices that are essential to the CAR-T cell therapy process. Read more in our story about how the cell processing systems Lovo and Cue are revolutionizing the treatment of cancer patients by making the therapy production more efficient and accessible: 👉

We act today for a better tomorrow: „Get it right. make it safe!“ is the slogan of today’s with its theme „Improving diagnosis for patient safety”. And as a global healthcare company, we make this slogan ours every day!

Nothing is more important to us than the safety and health of our patients. That’s why we continuously invest in our employees’ trainings and new, digital technologies that help us to improve treatments - including data and AI-supported analysis methods.

For example, did you know that we already use AI in colorectal cancer screening? A computer algorithm detects polyps in the intestinal mucosa, which could be a possible precursor to cancer. Have a look at the video!

Today is the United Nations Day of Democracy! Fresenius is steadfastly committed to human rights and democracy. Democracy is both a process and a goal. As an ideal, democracy can only become a reality for all with the full participation and support of supranational and governmental institutions, civil society, and each of us individually.

As a company and therefore a part of society, Fresenius advocates for an open and pluralistic society in which everyone enjoys equal rights and freedoms. Fresenius is a diverse company with employees in more than 60 countries. Different points of view and respectful cooperation are in our DNA. They’re also a key feature of our company principles: “we live the power of One team.”

Health is a fundamental human right that is supported by democratic principles. Fresenius contributes to improving access to healthcare and further enhancing the quality of life in societies across the globe. This is reflected in our promise: We are committed to life.

This year's theme - “Artificial intelligence as a tool for good governance” – highlights the transformative role that artificial intelligence (AI) can play in modern democracies. AI has the potential to make governments more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the citizens they serve. We believe this to be a worthwhile endeavor.

The International Day of Democracy provides an opportunity to review the state of democracy in the world. Democracy is as much a process as a goal, and only with the full participation of and support by the international community, national governing bodies, civil society and individuals, can the id...
