A new invention to measure the size of protein aggregates (proteins that clump together) can determine very precisely whether a person has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or not and the severity if they have it. The research has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. “Our […]

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet and the SciLifeLab Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden (CBCS) have identified a chemical compound, CBK77, that has the potential to inhibit protein recycling in cancer cells, subsequently leading to tumor cell death. CBK77 also turned out to have an unexpected advantage, it only affects cells that express the NQO1 enzyme, commonly upregulated […]

Danish research shows that people with COVID-19 who are hospitalized rarely have bacterial infections and antibiotics are therefore not needed at admission. About 95% of the people hospitalized with COVID-19 are treated immediately with antibiotics. The reasons include sky-high infection biomarkers, blood test parameters that are completely skewed and X-rays seemingly indicating typical pneumonia. However, […]

The project aims to ensure that even more research results are converted into new therapies or products that can be rapidly disseminated in the healthcare system to benefit patients, employees and society, to better equip the healthcare system to meet the challenges of the future. Innovation should be a fully integrated part of Denmark’s healthcare […]

One of the receptors discovered by the Nobel Laureates in Medicine is the TRPV1 receptor, which is used by PILA as the leading principle for a novel treatment of diabetes. The 2021 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine honors discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch. One of these receptors, the TRPV1 receptor, is thanks […]
