The increasing evidence has made it necessary to change international recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of resistant tuberculosis repeatedly in the recent years. This year, the WHO has published comprehensive recommendations that take into account these developments. The current German tuberculosis guideline was published in 2017 with differing recommendations in some areas. Here the new WHO recommendations of 2020 for rapid diagnosis and therapy of resistant tuberculosis are summarized and the relevant differences are commented for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A complete re-evaluation of the literature is currently taking place by updating the German-language AWMF 2k guidelines.

Microsensor systems for cell metabolism - from 2D culture to organ-on-chip (2019-2024).

Lab Chip

January 2025

Laboratory for Electrical Instrumentation and Embedded Systems, IMTEK - Department of Microsystems Engineering, University of Freiburg, Georges-Köhler-Allee 103, 79110 Freiburg, Germany.

Cell cultures, organs-on-chip and microphysiological systems become increasingly relevant as models, , in drug development, disease modelling, toxicology or cancer research. It has been underlined repeatedly that culture conditions and metabolic cues have a strong or even essential influence on the reproducibility and validity of such experiments but are often not appropriately measured or controlled. Here we review microsensor systems for cell metabolism for the continuous measurement of culture conditions in microfluidic and lab-on-chip platforms.
