Like Weaker skin barrier leads to faster uptake of chemicalsJanuary 13, 2021 at 12:00 AM The ability of our skin to protect us from chemicals is something we inherit. Some people are less well-protected which could imply an increased risk of being afflicted by skin disease or cancer. A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden that has been published in Environmental Health Perspectives shows how the rate of uptake of common chemicals is faster in people with a genetically weakened skin barrier.Tags: Science, Sweden, Karolinska Institutet, Environmental Health Perspectives 16 people like this. Like Lipid biomarkers in urine can determine the type of asthmaJanuary 13, 2021 at 12:00 AM In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used a urine test to identify and verify a patient's type of asthma. The study, which has been published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, lays the foundation for a more personalized diagnosis and may result in improved treatment of severe asthma in the future.Tags: Science, Sweden, Karolinska Institutet 13 people like this. Like New small antibodies show promising effects against COVID-19 infectionJanuary 12, 2021 at 12:00 AM Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed, in collaboration with researchers in Germany and the US, new small antibodies, also known as nanobodies, which prevent the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus from entering human cells. The research study, published in Science, shows that a combined nanobody had a particularly good effect - even if the virus mutated. According to the researchers, the nanobodies have the potential to be developed into a treatment for COVID-19.Tags: Science, Sweden, Germany, US, Karolinska Institutet 9 people like this. Like Breakthrough on diarrhea virus opens up for new vaccinesJanuary 11, 2021 at 12:00 AM Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden have for the first time at the atomic level succeeded in mapping what a virus looks like that causes diarrhea and annually kills about 50,000 children in the world. The discovery may in the long run provide the opportunity for completely new types of treatments for other viral diseases such as COVID-19.Tags: Science, Sweden, Umea University 44 people like this. Like Low risk of severe COVID-19 in childrenJanuary 6, 2021 at 12:00 AM Sweden kept preschools, primary and lower secondary schools open during the spring of 2020. So far, little research has been done on the risk of children being seriously affected by COVID-19 when the schools were open. A study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has now shown that one child in 130,000 was treated in an intensive care unit on account of COVID-19 during March-June. The study has been published in New England Journal of Medicine.Tags: Science, Sweden, New England, Karolinska Institutet Public mobility, social media attention in response to COVID-19 in Sweden, DenmarkJanuary 4, 2021 at 12:00 AM Denmark was one of the first countries to enforce lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent gradual reopening, whereas Sweden has had few restrictions, largely limited to public recommendations. Researchers assessed public mobility and social media attention associated with COVID-19 spread and societal interventions from February to June in Denmark and Sweden.Tags: Science, Sweden, Denmark, Sweden Denmark, COVID 19 people like this. Like New research may explain severe virus attacks on the lungsDecember 30, 2020 at 12:00 AM In some cases, immune cells in the lungs can contribute to worsening a virus attack. In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden describe how different kinds of immune cells, called macrophages, develop in the lungs and which of them may be behind severe lung diseases. The study, which was published in Immunity, may contribute to future treatments for COVID-19, among other diseases.Tags: Science, Sweden, Karolinska Institutet 14 people like this.

Like Water and genes flow between the two largest Baltic salmon riversDecember 21, 2020 at 12:00 AM Salmon from upstream reaches of the two northernmost Baltic rivers are different from downstream salmon. A recent study found that upstream salmon from the large Tornio and Kalix Rivers in Finland and Sweden are genetically distinct and migrate at different times and ages than their downstream counterparts. However, there seems to be no such distinction between salmon from these two neighbouring rivers.Tags: Science, Sweden, Finland, Tornio, Kalix Rivers 38 people like this.

Like Extracting precious zinc from waste ashDecember 16, 2020 at 12:00 AM Incineration of solid waste produces millions of tonnes of waste fly ash in Europe each year, that most commonly ends up in landfill. But this ash often contains significant amounts of precious metals, such as zinc. A unique method developed by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, can now help extract these precious metals, potentially leading to reductions in environmental pollution, landfill and transport.Tags: Europe, Science, Sweden, Chalmers University of Technology 33 people like this.
