Today is World Cancer Day!
At ariadne.ai ag, we’re passionate about advancing research not only in central nervous system diseases but also in cancer. In fact, we promote cancer research at every trade show we attend. Check out our backdrop featuring the work of Alex Ritter et al., which demonstrates how cancer cells protect themselves from cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells using ESCRT proteins, recruited at the site of T-cell engagement.
Want to know more about our work? Meet as at hashtag#AACR25 in Chicago.

Early diagnosis in Alzheimer’s: As important as the right treatment
When it comes to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders, identifying the right drugs is only half the battle – catching the disease early can be just as crucial. Two recent studies in Alzheimer’s & Dementia have characterized potential biomarkers, moving us one step closer to earlier and more accurate detection.
1. Di Molfetta et al. https://lnkd.in/ecGTAFyw
2. De Meyer et al. https://lnkd.in/eg2HQcUi
In my opinion, it’s time to launch a collaborative effort that leverages cutting-edge methods like spatial proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, liquid biopsies, and high-resolution imaging. Only by combining these approaches can we detect the subtle changes across all domains and effectively address the tremendous burden of Alzheimer’s disease on society.
Let me know what you think and whether you want to join. At ariadne.ai ag we are always looking for collaboration options.
