Elekta has announced new data demonstrating stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a safe treatment option for early-stage lung cancer patients aged 80 or older. The results, which were based on data from more than 1,000 patients across five institutions that comprise the Elekta Lung Research Group, are available online and will be published in […]

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have obtained the first 3D snapshots of a sperm protein attached to a complementary egg coat protein at the beginning of fertilisation.

H. Lundbeck has entered into an agreement with biotech company ImmunoBrain Checkpoint for the rights to IBC’s groundbreaking research in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The research focuses on modifying antibodies currently used in cancer treatment for use in treating the debilitating brain disease which 48 million patients are estimated to suffer from. A number […]

Scientists at Karolinska Institutet report that cancer cells and normal cells use different ‘gene switches’ in order to regulate the expression of genes that control growth. In mice, the removal of a large regulatory region linked to different types of cancer caused a dramatic resistance to tumour formation, but did not affect normal cell growth. […]

In a new study presented in Molecular Psychiatry , researchers at Karolinska Institutet have measured how deposits of the pathological protein tau spread through the brain over the course of Alzheimer’s disease. Their results show that the size of the deposit and the speed of its spread differ from one individual to the next, and […]

The first analysis of how proteins are arranged in a cell was published yesterday in Science, revealing that a large portion of human proteins can be found in more than one location in a given cell. Using the Sweden-based Cell Atlas, researchers examined the spatial distribution of the human proteome that correspond to the majority […]
