Phantoms suitable for micro computed tomography (microCT) can be produced either in high resolution or with defined contrast. This technology describes the production of microCT phantoms characterized by adjustable X-ray contrasts which can be printed in various high-resolution 3D structures.

Heart tissue engineering using stem cells is a recently developed technique to construct a three dimensional cell structure from cardiomyocytes or directly from progenitor cells. Scientists at the University of Göttingen developed two new and fully defined methods for serum-free production of engineered human heart muscles.

Paratuberculosis or Johne's disease is a contagious, chronic and also fatal bacterial infection, which generally occurs early in life. The disease can exist undetected in a herd for many years. Scientists at the University of Göttingen developed an improved PCR diagnostic test for fast and early detection of Paratuberculosis.

Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover, Germany developed a new test for a genetic defect causing bleeding disorders in dogs. It allows breeders to improve targeted mating by omitting genetic carriers to avoid genetic diseases in offsprings. This is especially important for autosomal recessive mutations.

Shar-Pei Autoinflammatory Disease (SPAID) is a complex inflammatory disease. Typical signs are recurrent bouts of fever, inflammations of the ear, arthritis and a reddened skin. The dogs can also develop amyloidosis. Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover developed a genetic test for SPAID predisposition.
