Cell atlas paves the way for new brain cancer therapies
In his previous research Sten Linnarsson studied early brain development and produced a detailed cell atlas. This new knowledge about the brain now forms the basis for a new and more goal-oriented focus – to fight brain cancer, especially glioblastoma.
Close-up images of protein folding
Wallenberg Scholar Gunnar von Heijne is demonstrating at a previously inconceivable level of detail how protein folding is achieved.
Understanding damage to mitochondrial DNA can pave the way for new drugs
Some mitochondrial diseases are not caused by energy shortage; they are the result of stress signals from the mitochondria. Paulina Wanrooij wants to use the opportunity as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow to study the signals sent by mitochondria in the cell.
Answers about immune responses sought in donated organs
Organs donated for research are set to provide new knowledge about the immune system, and hopefully shortcuts to improved diagnoses. At the same time, a unique biobank is being created for future research projects.
