Pilloxa has announced the start of a single-armed and multicenter observational clinical trial in which their digital patient-centric adherence solution will be tested in patients with cardiovascular disease, namely newly diagnosed patients with atrial fibrillation. The study, ASTORIA, to be conducted as a multicenter trial with the University of Oslo as lead, is funded by […]

BioArctic and University of Oslo, Institute of Clinical Medicine (IKM), have signed a research collaboration agreement to increase the understanding of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a drug target for Alzheimer’s disease. BioArctic will provide financial support for a two-year research position, with potential extension, and Professor Lars Nilsson at the Department of Pharmacology will be […]

Researchers at the University of Oslo have discovered that nerve fibers form when small vesicles inside the neuron, called endosomes, merge with the cell membrane. The cell membrane is the cell’s outer layer.  The breakthrough was made during microscopy studies at the Centre for Cancer Biomedicine (CCB). CCB is a center of excellence at the […]

Researchers at the University of Oslo have identified several new gene variants that affect the size of the human brain. The newly-identified variants are important for the brain’s development, the removal of unwanted cells and for contact between nerve cells, according to the University of Oslo. “This is an important step on the path to […]

Pancreases of patients with type 1 diabetes can regain the ability to produce insulin when cells are given the chance to recover outside the body, researchers have demonstrated. Professor Knut Dahl-Jørgensen and doctoral student Lars Krogvold at the University of Oslo are leading a research project (DiViD) to try to determine, among other things, if […]

One of this century’s most significant mathematical discoveries may decrease the number of MRI measuring points to one-sixth of the current level, reducing patients’ exposure to radiation, speeding the imaging process and freeing up time for more scans.  The theory of compressed sensing enables compressive sampling without having to look at the raw data first.
