Using theoretical models of bacterial metabolism and reproduction, scientists can predict the type of resistance that bacteria will develop when they are exposed to antibiotics. This has now been shown by an Uppsala University research team, in collaboration with colleagues in Cologne, Germany. “This kind of knowledge would enable better tracking and slowing of the […]

By sequencing the germline genomes of twins and comparing them to those of close relatives, scientists at deCODE genetics have found mutations that are present in just one of the monozygotic twins and traced them back to the first days after conception. In the article, Differences between germline genomes of monozygotic twins, published in Nature Genetics, scientists at […]

An international collaboration project to develop and implement novel genome-based disease prediction tools has received over 10 million euros from the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program. The project aims to demonstrate the potential and benefits of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on the generation of genetic predictive scores and to test their clinical […]

In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have used a urine test to identify and verify a patient’s type of asthma. The study, which has been published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, lays the foundation for a more personalized diagnosis and may result in improved treatment of severe asthma […]

Biomedicum in Stockholm, designed by C.F. Møller Architects for Akademiska Hus and Karolinska Institutet, is a European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2022 nominee. The new laboratory building Biomedicum is a powerhouse for research at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, one of the world’s leading medical universities. Biomedicum was […]

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden report in the journal Nature that they have developed novel first-in-class inhibitors that compromise mitochondrial function in cancer cells. Treatment with the inhibitors stopped cancer cells from proliferating and reduced tumor growth in mice, without significantly affecting healthy cells. “We are excited to have shown that this novel principle for cancer […]
