Western powers took advantage of the secret communication with the Finnish President Urho Kekkonen and tried to influence his thoughts during the Cold War.
A doctoral thesis completed by Jenni Haukio, Master of Social Sciences, reveals that the ideal of open interactivity is not realised in the digital election campaigning of political parties.
The technology, which mimics the body’s natural clotting process, could help keep severely injured people alive until they are treated at a hospital.
Researchers have identified gene variants linked to harmful fatty substances in the blood. In the future, it might prove possible to prevent cardiovascular disease by influencing the function of these genes.
The printer generates vaccine-filled microneedle patches that can be stored long-term at room temperature and applied to the skin.
Specialized groups of neurons within the brainstem control movement. Now researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that activation of such neurons is sufficient to restore full movement function in mice with symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. The study helps clinicians to focus Deep Brain Stimulation to the right therapeutic spot and hopefully could improve treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease.
Patients with breast cancer should be offered the opportunity for reconstructive surgery if the breast has to be completely removed. Recent study finds that restoring patients’ body image plays an important role in their quality of life.
These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility.
MIT researchers exhibit a new advancement in autonomous drone navigation, using brain-inspired liquid neural networks that excel in out-of-distribution scenarios.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.
MIT engineers identified an unusually absorbent material that could be used for passive cooling or water harvesting in warm climates.
Applying a small voltage to the walls of algae growing tanks can prevent cloudy buildup and allow more photosynthesis to happen.
A team of researchers at the University of Copenhagen has discovered a new piece in the puzzle of the brain’s ‘feel good’ substance, dopamine. According to one of the researchers behind the new study, the discovery may facilitate the development of drugs for i.e. cocaine addiction and ADHD and is most likely to change the general notion of how dopamine is removed from the brain.
A new analysis reveals how Staphylococcus aureus gains mutations that allow it to colonize eczema patches.
The structure of the desert birds’ belly feathers enables males to carry water over long distances to their chicks.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that fluid does not necessarily enter the brain the way one thought. According to one of the researchers behind the study, the result may lead to fewer major brain operations.
Women are at their greatest risk for depression during their childbearing years, and according to a recent study published in the prestigious American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, depression is indeed associated with a lower likelihood of having children among men and women.
In a global study, researchers have identified that most reservoirs of rodent-borne diseases tend to live exclusively or occasionally in or near human dwellings, show large fluctuations in their numbers, and/or are hunted for meat or fur.
With a shortage of therapists, help with mental health problems is being sought from digital interventions. According to a study, smart devices can help identify people with symptoms of depression and anxiety.
As the supersonic solar wind surges towards Earth, its interaction with our planet's magnetic field creates a shock to deflect its flow, and a foreshock filled with electromagnetic waves. How these waves can propagate to the other side of the shock has long remained a mystery.
