A new scientific study showing how fish behavior is being changed by pharmaceuticals entering water habitats after being incorrectly disposed highlights the urgent need for research into the impact of such drugs on human health. “The findings are alarming as they add to growing evidence that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals leaking into the natural environment […]

A novel map of all proteins secreted to human blood is described in a paper by Mathias Uhlen et al. entitled “The Human Secretome”, published in the journal Science Signaling. The paper provides a first comprehensive annotation of all proteins secreted by the human cells. In addition, an analysis of the concentrations of the proteins […]

Sarah McGarrity’s research focuses on endothelial cells, which are important for blood pressure and clotting, and her findings might give us a better understanding and lead to treatments for conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetic vascular damage and acute vascular problems due to shock. McGarrity, PhD, was one of the recipients of the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s […]

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that the memory capacity and learning capability of mice improve if lithium treatment is given after the irradiation of the brain. Mice that were irradiated early in life and then given lithium from adolescence until young adulthood performed just as well as mice who had not been given radiation. […]

Kaja Plucinska’s research focuses on the brown and beige fat secretome and the discovery of novel endocrine factors regulating insulin sensitivity and energy balance. Her findings might lead to new therapeutic strategies to combat insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetes. Kaja Plucinska, PhD, was one of the recipients of the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s postdoctoral fellowships […]

Cemre Manav performs baseline scientific research in RNA processing that paves the way for new treatments of many diseases, such as heart failure, as well as for therapeutic processes, for example gene silencing. Cemre Manav, PhD, was one of the recipients of the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s postdoctoral fellowships 2019 for research abroad in the field […]
