A recent study, led by Uppsala University researchers, shows a correlation between a loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells and both a shorter life span. In a study recently published in the journal Nature Genetics an international team of researchers have analysed the DNA in blood samples from a group of more than […]

Rigshospitalet in Denmark has developed a new type of treatment using alpha rays in liquid form which has fewer side-effects and means better chances of survival for patients with prostate cancer. The substance is injected into the arteries through a venflon catheter and then it flows around with the blood and becomes trapped in the […]

Researchers at Umeå University and SLU in Umeå will together with AcureOmics AB get a SEK 4 million funding for a transplant research project. The project is focused on developing new methods to early identify risks of rejection of transplanted kidneys. “If we can discover rejection processes in transplanted kidneys at an earlier stage it […]

A team of researchers from five Swedish universities have identified a new way of treating cancer.

A new type of cell communication that results in suppressed blood vessel formation and delayed tumour growth has been discovered at Uppsala University. In the present study, published in Developmental Cell, the researchers have studied how an additional molecule participates in the cell communication in response to VEGF.  If this molecule, called NRP1, is present on the […]

Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method able to halve the number of false-positives ovarian cancer diagnoses. The method helps distinguish between cancer and otherwise benign conditions and is called glycoprofiling. It has been published in the Journal of Proteome Research, under the title “Microarray Glycoprofiling of CA125 Improves Differential Diagnosis of Ovarian […]
