After transplanting liver cells into the eye of mice, the cornea can be used as a window into the body to monitor liver health over time. New study UNINTENTIONAL WEIGHT LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF CANCER Recent weight loss is associated with an increased risk of a cancer diagnosis in the coming year, according to a new study. The researchers behind the study urge healthcare professionals and the public to be vigilant about sudden and unintentional weight loss. New study INHERITED GENETIC MUTATIONS CAN PREDICT INTERVAL BREAST CANCER Mutations in five known breast cancer genes can predict which women will be affected by interval breast cancer, an aggressive cancer type diagnosed between routine screenings. The findings can contribute to more tailored screening programs. THE CONVERSATION MULTIPLE HEALTH RISKS SHORTEN LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH OCD People with OCD die on average nine years earlier than others. Now, a registry study spanning 40 years reveals the diseases and health risks behind these grim statistics. CAN AN ANTI-HIV DRUG REDUCE THE RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IN WOMEN? WHY BRAIN WAVES MAKE US FAIR TO OTHERS Whenever we make choices in a social setting about how much we want to share with others we must navigate between our own selfish interests and social norms for fairness. But how fair are we truly? KI-researcher Patricia Christian explains why no one takes the last piece of cake. THE CURIOUS LINK BETWEEN ANIMAL HIBERNATION AND AGEING When the cold and dark winter is setting in, some of us envy animals that can hibernate. This long, deep rest is an example of how nature develops clever solution to difficult problems – and is something that science can learn from, according to KI researcher Peter Stenvinkel. HIV DRUGS MIGHT HELP PREVENT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS In a new study, researchers identified over 29,000 people with HIV and followed them for an average of nearly ten years. Over this period, only 14 HIV-positive people developed MS, which was 47% fewer cases than expected based on numbers in the general population. MICROSCOPIC COLITIS EXPLAINED – AND WHY IT’S OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR IBS If you have a bad case of the runs that doesn´t go away, the problem might be microscopic colitis: A condition that causes chronic diarrhoea and inflammation of the large intestine, only visible through a microscope. KI researcher David Bergman explains why a proper diagnose and treatment can make a huge difference for people with the condition. HOW YOUR BIOLOGICAL CLOCK UNVEILS THE RISK OF DEMENTIA AND STROKE MORE ARTICLES FROM KI RESEARCHERS PUBLISHED IN THE CONVERSATION From cold-resistant genes to face masks, Karolinska Institutet researchers contribute to the global public discourse on a range of topics through our collaboration with the international news site The Conversation. New study BACTERIAL MENINGITIS DAMAGES ONE IN THREE CHILDREN FOR LIFE One in three children who suffer from bacterial meningitis live with permanent neurological disabilities due to the infection. This is according to a new epidemiological study. Ministerial visit HEALTHCARE MINISTER VISITS KI Minister for Health Care Acko Ankarberg Johansson had a busy schedule when she visited Karolinska Institutet, where she spent an afternoon discussing research conditions and how to create sustainable infrastructures that can increase the interaction between education, research, development and healthcare today and tomorrow. New study DIABETES DRUG MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE LIVER DISEASE Drugs known as GLP1 agonists are associated with a reduced risk of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic liver disease, according to a new study published in Gut. GRANTS, PRIZES AND DONATIONS ERC PROOF OF CONCEPT TO PROFESSOR PER-OLOF BERGGREN Professor Per-Olof Berggren has been awarded a ERC Proof of Concept grant by the European Research Council (ERC). The funding will be used to advance a technology in which islets of Langerhans are transplanted into the anterior chamber of the eye and employed as a screening tool to identify novel pharmaceutical treatments for diabetes. GENEROUS DONATION TO EYE RESEARCH AT KI The Ulla and Ingemar Dahlberg Foundation has decided to donate SEK 50 million to Karolinska Institutet. The grant will be used for a new professorship in vision science with a focus on ocular neurobiology. TWO KI RESEARCHERS ARE AWARDED DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR GRANTS Professor Gonçalo Castelo-Branco and professor Jonas Frisén, Karolinska Institutet, are awarded distinguished professor grants from the Swedish Research Council, totalling just over SEK 62 million for the years 2024-31. EXTRA GRANTS FROM THE SWEDISH CANCER SOCIETY TO KI FOR CLINICAL STUDIES In clinical studies, new methods and treatments are tested on humans under controlled conditions. However, clinical treatment studies are often very expensive to carry out. The Swedish Cancer Society has now decided on an extra allocation of grants to ten researchers for clinical studies. Six of these are researchers at Karolinska Institutet. KI RESEARCHERS AWARDED OVER SEK 35 MILLION BY THE SWEDISH CHILDHOOD CANCER FUND The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund's allocation reflects the needs that exist in areas such as new technology and precision medicines. This year's call for proposals means that SEK 125 million will be allocated to 62 projects in the field of childhood cancer, of which SEK 35,400,000 will go to researchers at Karolinska Institutet. NEW MRI SCANNER IN HUDDINGE OPENS UP NEW OPPORTUNITIES On Tuesday 28 November, a new laboratory for MRI examinations was inaugurated at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge. The purchase of a new MRI scanner, following a donation from the Erling Persson Foundation, creates new opportunities for both doctors and researchers. KI RESEARCHERS ANDERS KVANTA AND FREDRIK LANNER AWARDED A SEK 10 MILLION GRANT KI researchers Anders Kvanta and Fredrik Lanner have been awarded a grant of SEK 10 million from the Erling-Persson Foundation for a clinical phase 1 trial on macular degeneration, a common age-related eye disease. By transplanting retinal cells from embryonic stem cells, the researchers hope to curb any further loss of vision and ultimately recover lost sight. New study DNA CONSTRUCTION LED TO UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY OF IMPORTANT CELL FUNCTION KI researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for understanding how the Notch signalling pathway works and how it is involved in several serious diseases. New study RESEARCHERS URGE CAUTION IN CO-PRESCRIBING POTENCY DRUGS AND NITRATES Co-prescribing potency drugs such as Viagra and organic nitrates for angina is associated with a 35 to 40 percent increased risk of death and about 70 percent higher risk of heart attack and heart failure. This is according to a registry study. The Swedish researchers are now urging caution.

For this to go well, more research is needed on how space stresses the human body. LONG LIVE THE LIVER! Many Swedes live with fatty liver – and it doesn’t have to be dangerous. But for some, it kicks off a course of disease in which persistent inflammation leads to cirrhosis. Medicinsk Vetenskap has talked to researchers who look after the liver – the behemoth of the belly that has a somewhat magical ability to recover, along with enormous overcapacity.
