A study coordinated by a research group at the University of Helsinki paves the way for cell therapies for diabetes.
A research group at the University of Helsinki has discovered the logic that controls gene regulation in human cells. In the future, this new knowledge can be applied to, for example, investigating cancers and other genetic diseases.
A discovery made in a new study helps to identify poor response tumours already prior chemotherapy is applied and opens new avenues for the development of combination therapies.
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki demonstrated that the partial replacement of animal protein sources in the diet with plant-based protein sources resulted in an increase in folate and iron intake, but a decrease in vitamin B12 and iodine intake.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki discovered how ovarian cancer hides from the body’s immune system. The findings will help develop novel precision therapies for ovarian cancer, a common and aggressive cancer type.
Using supercomputer simulations researchers have been able to create the most accurate simulation to date that depicts the evolution of the Local Universe from the Big Bang to the present-day.
New study provides the first comprehensive and complimentary overview on the physical and functional interactions of the human transcription factors.
An international team of scientists, led by University of Helsinki, reported the first evidence that “mitophagy” – recycling of damaged mitochondria – leads to human disease.
A Finnish twin study suggests that the deteriorative effects of cardiovascular risk factors on late-life cognition are stronger in individuals with lower education compared to those with higher education.
The researchers of the Digital Geography Lab at the University of Helsinki have published spatial data describing the daily rhythms in the population distribution in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area as open data.
On a weekly basis, Finnish agility dogs go on walks more than their North American cousins, indicates a study conducted at the University of Helsinki. Warming dogs up before and cooling them down after agility runs is an established practice among Finnish competitors.
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki indicates that early sexual maturation and high aerobic performance in salmon have a genetic link that is already evident in juvenile salmon.
In her doctoral dissertation, Heini Kallio looks for connections between the acoustic features of speech and the language proficiency assessments carried out by humans. The results can be applied to the development of teaching in oral language skills and their automated assessment.
Highly radioactive fuel debris remains in the reactors.
In a project coordinated by the University of Helsinki carried out with Finnish Meteorological Insitute, University of Eastern Finland and an international research group, direct observations were made on the interactions between aerosol particles formed in boreal forests and clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer.
On Thursday the 27th of January 2022, M.Sc. Chen He defends her doctoral thesis on Entity-Based Insight Discovery in Visual Data Exploration. The thesis is related to research done in the Department of Computer Science and in the Ubiquitous Interaction group.
Permafrost has a central role in the sustainable development of the Arctic region. The thaw of permafrost is set to damage buildings and roads, leading to tens of billions of euros in additional costs in the near future, according to an international review coordinated by Finnish geographers.
A molecule developed by researchers at the University of Helsinki can inactivate the coronavirus spike protein and offers effective short-term protection against the virus.
Egg white is one of the most important protein ingredients for the food industry. Egg white protein – ovalbumin – produced by precision fermentation reduced land use requirements by almost 90 per cent and greenhouse gases by 31–55 per cent compared to the production of its chicken-based counterpart.
University of Helsinki and Taiwanese researchers have found a new way to remove waste from the brain after haemorrhage.
