Interdisciplinary neurovascular networks in Germany: update 2025.

Background: Neurovascular networks (NVNs) in Germany are supra-regional care structures for patients with neurovascular diseases. Each NVN consists of a tertiary care center serving as the coordinating center-in some cases, two or three coordinating centers-and at least three partner hospitals. Since 2018, 19 neurovascular networks (NVNs) have been audited and certified.

Selective Effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Bone Sarcoma Cells and Human Osteoblasts.

Background: The use of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in oncology has been intensively investigated over the past 15 years as it inhibits the growth of many tumor cells. It is known that reactive oxidative species (ROS) produced in CAP are responsible for this effect. However, to translate the use of CAP into medical practice, it is essential to know how CAP treatment affects non-malignant cells.

New Approach against Chondrosoma Cells-Cold Plasma Treatment Inhibits Cell Motility and Metabolism, and Leads to Apoptosis.

(1) Background: Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a malignant primary bone tumor with a cartilaginous origin. Its slow cell division and severely restricted vascularization are responsible for its poor responsiveness to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The decisive factor for the prognosis of CS patients is the only adequate therapy-surgical resection.
