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 […]

Using theoretical models of bacterial metabolism and reproduction, scientists can predict the type of resistance that bacteria will develop when they are exposed to antibiotics. This has now been shown by an Uppsala University research team, in collaboration with colleagues in Cologne, Germany. “This kind of knowledge would enable better tracking and slowing of the […]

Ilya Pharma has signed a 2-year extension to its immunophysiology and synthetic biology research agreement with Uppsala University, Department of Medical Cell Biology. The new knowledge to be generated will help further de-risk and accelerate development of Ilya’s pipeline of advanced therapies based on modified lactic acid bacteria expressing human chemokines beyond acute skin wounds […]

Researchers at Uppsala University have found that an effective way of treating the coronavirus behind the 2003 SARS epidemic also works on the closely related SARS-CoV-2 virus. The substance concerned is nitric oxide (NO), a compound with antiviral properties that is produced by the body itself. The study is published in the journal Redox Biology. […]

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method to rapidly determine how effective two antibiotics combined can be in stopping bacterial growth. The new method is simple for laboratories to use and can provide greater scope for customizing treatment of bacterial infections, states the researchers. The study is published in PLOS Biology. CombiANT With […]

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 […]
