Assistant Professor Juha Saarikangas at HiLIFE, University of Helsinki, has been awarded the Young Investigator Grant of the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) to study cellular aging from a new angle. Saarikangas leads the Cellular Individuality group at the Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE) at the University of Helsinki Viikki Campus in Finland. His research group is also […]

Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm are developing a serological test for COVID-19 antibodies. The test would be used to ensure whether individuals have had the disease, COVID-19. Reliable tests of this type provide a safer basis for deciding who can return to work without passing on the infection, which is of […]

Researchers  from Karolinska Institutet and Örebro University Hospital in Sweden and Massachusetts General Hospital in the US have published new findings about the risks of developing liver cancer. Among adults with chronic viral hepatitis at high risk of liver cancer, those who took low-dose aspirin long-term were less likely to develop liver cancer or to […]

An international team of scientists led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet has launched a comprehensive overview of all proteins expressed in the brain, published in the journal Science. The open-access database offers medical researchers an unprecedented resource to deepen their understanding of neurobiology and develop new, more effective therapies and diagnostics targeting psychiatric and neurological […]

Three coronavirus projects coordinated by researchers at Karolinska Institutet have moved onto the grant negotiation phase in a bid for 9 million euros (95 million kronor) in EU funding. The projects aim to find a vaccine, immunotherapies and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and are being coordinated by KI’s Matti Sällberg, Qiang Pan Hammarström and Benjamin […]

Parts of tumor tissue, which is normally discarded in cancer surgery, bear information about the disease, and studies at the University of Gothenburg show that this has been unexploited. This finding has now formed the basis for a new experimental platform for cancer diagnostics, prognoses and testing cancer drugs. The study published by the research […]
