NEW STUDY. New information on how a low-carbohydrate diet improves metabolism has been published in the journal Cell Metabolism. The findings could lead to improved treatments of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. “We discovered that the diet, independent of weight loss, led to rapid and dramatic decreases in liver fat and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and we also revealed previously unknown underlying molecular mechanisms,” says Jan Borén, professor of molecular…
SciLifeLab: Doctoral course: Super-Resolution fluorescence microscopy, 3 Hp
The course (May 16-June 3) aims to provide all participants with training in the fundamental theoretical and experimental aspects of super-resolution microscopy (Nobel Prize in 2014). Scientific tutorials will introduce fundamental and advance aspects of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Experimental demo-session will further deepen the understanding and applicability of super-resolution microscopy. As the name implies, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is a field in which novel optical approaches and single molecule sensitive fluorescence…
