B cells are critical to the proper functioning of the immune system. However, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that they can sometimes do more harm than good, as their numbers greatly increase after bowel damage, preventing the tissue from healing. The results, which are presented in the journal Immunity, can be of significance to the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Solna [Sweden], June 13 (ANI): Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute believe they have discovered why people with self-injury behaviour experience less pain than others. The key appears to be a more effective pain-modulation system, a discovery which is a breakthrough that can aid those who are seeking care for self-harm.
Solna [Sweden], June 7 (ANI): Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute have developed a small sensor for detecting pesticides on fruit. The approach, which was described as a proof-of-concept, uses flame-sprayed silver nanoparticles to boost the chemical signals.
Solna [Sweden], April 24 (ANI): Women who have had one ovary surgically removed (unilateral oophorectomy) are less likely to become pregnant than women who have both ovaries and have fewer children after in vitro fertilization, according to a recent study.
Solna [Sweden], April 21 (ANI): According to an extensive meta-analysis, women who have had one ovary surgically removed (unilateral oophorectomy) are less likely to become pregnant than women who have both ovaries and have fewer children after in vitro fertilization.
Solna [Sweden], February 27 (ANI): A recent study has shown how certain RNA molecules controlled the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer treatments.
Solna [Sweden], February 26 (ANI): A recent study has revealed that in addition to risk factors such as advanced age and chronic diseases like diabetes, genetic heritage also contributes to individual COVID-19 severity risk.
Solna [Sweden], February 23 (ANI): It has been long presumed that RNA molecules, which are the basic molecules that exist in all living organisms - only participated in protein synthesis. However, a recent study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden showed how certain RNA molecules controlled the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer treatments.
