New research findings enable more reliable prognoses for breast cancer(05/19/2008) Researchers at Umeċ University in Sweden have shown that the length of telomeres in blood cells in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients is tied to survival rates. The study was carried out by a research team headed by Professor Göran Roos at the ...
Can hantavirus infection spread among humans?(01/22/2008) In connection with last year's epidemic, a research team at Umeċ University in Sweden has managed for the first time to show that hantavirus exists in human saliva. This raises the question of whether this contagion can spread among humans. In ...
New discoveries about nitric oxide can provide drugs for schizophrenia(11/23/2007) Problems with memory and social function in patients with schizophrenia may result from an imbalance in the brain's nitric oxide system. A dissertation from the Sahlgrenska Academy shows that rats with characteristics of schizophrenia regain normal ...
Prion fingerprints detected with glowing molecule(11/21/2007) An effective and sensitive new method for detecting and characterizing prions, the infectious compounds behind diseases like mad cow disease, is now being launched by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden, among other institutions. The ...
New virus drug will have to shoot at moving targets(10/23/2007) The reproduction of the deadly hepatitis B virus is dependent on the mobility of one of the virus's RNAs. This is shown by Katja Petzold and Jürgen Schleucher, Umeċ University, Sweden, in an article in Nucleic Acids Research. The Umeċ researchers ...
A previously unknown coupling between obesity and diabetes(10/19/2007) Obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes, but nobody knows the details of why this is the case. Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden have now identified a protein that may play a role in increasing the risk. The discovery may in ...
Self-assembling nanostructures of DNA - a biotechnologist's dream(02/09/2007) Wouldn't it be great if we could get computer chips to grow on trees? Or at least use the specific bonds of DNA molecules to get nanostructures to grow themselves right in the test tube? This technology could be used to build everything from tiny ...
New three-dimensional imaging method paves way for several research fields(12/06/2006) A new method for 3D imaging and quantification of biological preparations ten times larger than the limit for the traditional confocal microscope is now being presented by researchers from Umeċ University in Sweden in the journal Nature ...
