In a review of existing research, commissioned by a committee of the European Parliament, a group of European researchers has identified benefits of organic food production for human health. The researchers recommend the parliament to consider giving priority to certain organic production practices and their use also in conventional agriculture. The review resulted in the […]

Nuevolution announces the publication of the scientific article entitled “An allosteric “Beta-Blocker” isolated from a DNA-encoded small molecule library” in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA. The article presents work from the ongoing collaboration between Nuevolution and the group of Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert J. Lefkowitz at Duke University involving the screening […]

In a new study from Uppsala University the development of a new antibody design that increases brain uptake of antibodies almost 100-fold is described. The research group behind this new study has taken advantage of the fact that some large proteins are actively transported across the blood-brain barrier, including transferrin whose primary task is to bind […]

Researchers at the University of Turku have identified a new way of blocking the spread of cancer. Calcium channel blockers, which are used to lower blood pressure, block breast and pancreatic cancer invasion by inhibiting cellular structures. By screening already approved drugs, the team led by Postdoctoral Researcher Guillaume Jacquemet and Academy Professor Johanna Ivaska […]

The Swedish Department of Education has submitted a proposal for consulatation for a new organization for ethical review of research. In the memorandum it is suggested among other things that the six regional ethical review boards, where each and every one of them is a separate authority, are to be liquidated. Instead the memo suggests […]

Researchers from the US and Norway have developed a genomic technique that may be used to map epigenetic marks across the genome using fewer cells, which could benefit cancer research. A research project, led jointly by Bing Ren at Ludwig Cancer Research in San Diego and Arne Klungland of the University of Oslo, describes their […]
