Taxpayers should foot the bill if EU demands efficient removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewaters

5 September, 2023

NEW STUDY. Public sector should pay if EU demands efficient removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewaters, according to researchers at the Centre for Antibiotic Research, CARe, at the University of Gothenburg. Their argumentation analysis, published in the journal Public Health Ethics, raises important questions of responsibility. As the use of medication increases, the problem of pollution and associated environmental impact grows as well. Pharmaceutical residues in urine and faeces are increasingly…

Engineered approach to remove protein aggregates from cells

29 June, 2023

NEW STUDY. Protein aggregates accumulate during aging and are linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. A new study by the Nyström lab at University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany, describes a novel, engineered approach that makes protein aggregates amenable to spatial manipulations in both budding yeast and human cells. Many neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or…

The right treatment for rectal cancer patients through collaboration

21 June, 2023

NEW STUDY. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital have taken a step towards the goal of individualizing rectal cancer treatment. By analyzing tumor samples, immunologists and surgeons have jointly identified a biomarker that could offer a new way to predict which patients will benefit the most from chemoradiotherapy prior to surgery. Rectal cancer is one of the more common forms of cancer, and the tumor is…

Ten new EU doctoral students strengthen research on epithelial cell protection against bacteria
