Researchers develop molecule that makes cancer cells sensitive to radiotherapy

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Kancera AB have developed a molecule that makes cancer cells sensitive to radiotherapy. In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers describe a new way to block cancer cells' ability to repair their DNA and thus stop the survival of cancer cells.

Activation of glial cells causes inflammation in the brain of fibromyalgia patients

The causes of the difficult-to-treat pain syndrome fibromyalgia are largely unknown. Using PET brain imaging, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Harvard University have now shown that glial cells - the central nervous system's immune cells - are activated in the brains of patients with fibromyalgia. The finding opens the way for new therapies

Planting trees may have significant impact in math achievement even in high-poverty schools

What if improving academic performance in some of the nation's most disadvantaged and lowest-achieving schools was as easy as planting trees in the schoolyard? It's not that simple, of course, but a new study from the University of Illinois suggests school greening could be part of the solution.

Researchers now confirm that genome duplication drives evolution of species

Many wild and cultivated plants arise through the combination of two different species. The genome of these so-called polyploid species often consists of a quadruple set of chromosomes - a double set for each parental species - and thus has about twice as many genes as the original species.
