Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a detailed molecular atlas of the fetal development of the brain. “Brain development is well described and the main cell types are known. What is new about our atlas is the high resolution and detail,” says Sten Linnarsson, head of research and professor at the Department of Medical Biochemistry […]

Researchers at Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet have presented a new screening approach that focuses on the identification of virus-specific morphological changes in virus-infected cells. The new method focuses on identifying the changes (morphological profiles) that the virus induces on the infected cells by using a modified version of the Cell Painting protocol, an established […]

Piece by piece the Nobel Laureates laid the puzzle in understanding and determining the hepatitis C virus, a discovery that has saved millions of lives.

The patient, suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, is a participant in the ongoing PIONEER Phase I/II clinical trial of GenSight Biologics’ GS030 optogenetic therapy. These groundbreaking results, from among others biopharma company GenSight Biologics, the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel and the Institut de la Vision at Sorbonne Université/Inserm/CNRS), Paris, were published in Nature […]

New molecules, developed by researchers at Linköping University, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy. A study published in the journal Epilepsia shows that several of the molecules have antiseizure effects, describes Karin Söderlund Leifler/George Farrants at Linköping University. The ion channels thus play a key role in epilepsy In people with epilepsy, the […]

SciLifeLab and The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) will intensify collaboration between the two organizations under the joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The MoU declares a joint ambition to stimulate mutually beneficial scientific and academic exchange and collaboration in various areas of life science research in order to ensure greater connectivity, availability of scientific data, […]
