Faecal transplants are currently used to treat certain types of antibiotic-resistant diarrhoea and has also been attempted to treat e.g. inflammatory bowel disease. A new study from the University of Copenhagen suggests…

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a new way to treat chronic pain which has been tested in mice. With a compound designed and developed by the researchers themselves, they can achieve complete…

For many students suffering from anxiety, the corona crisis is of great significance. But as a student there are many things you can do to subdue and contain your anxiety.

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen are working at full throttle to develop a vaccine against the infectious virus SARS-CoV-2. Now, the researchers have entered into an agreement with the company AGC Biologics…

In experiments with mice, researchers have studied neuronal mechanisms and found a way to by and large prevent spasticity from developing after spinal cord injuries. A new study from the University of Copenhagen shows…

Experts at the University of Copenhagen have begun using artificial intelligence to create computer models that calculate the risk of a corona patient’s needing intensive care or a ventilator. The new initiative is bein…

The award is presented by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and this year goes to Professor Anja Groth for her research into epigenetics. The award ceremony, where the award is handed out by the Majesty…

Through studies of rats, researchers from the University of Copenhagen may have found the reason behind of a large drop in blood pressure in patients receiving intravenous pain medication.

We humans are far from the first to exploit the benefits of CRISPR. Groundbreaking research at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) has helped to redefine what CRISPR is. UCPH Researchers have discovered that primitive…

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Statens Serum Institut (SSI) have mapped the different coronaviruses that occur in Danish animals. They emphasise that these viruses are harmless to humans.

A novel structure of a so-called 'neurotransmitter: sodium symporter’ has been mapped at the University of Copenhagen. The discovery adds to the researchers’ knowledge of neurotransmitters in the brain and may lead to…

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have shown that the diets of the wealthy and people in risk of poverty are correlated with urinary fingerprints of their respective metabolisms. Urine samples from more than…

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that our cells replicate their DNA much more loosely than previously thought. The new knowledge might be useful for developing novel treatments against…

Danish and Norwegian researchers have moved one step closer to understanding where face blindness stems from in the brain.

In the dermis skin layer, the same bacteria are found across age and gender. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Copenhagen in a new study which has studied skin samples from knees and hips. The…

Being taller in young adulthood is associated with a lower risk of developing dementia in men, even when education, intelligence and family genetics are taken into account.

Danish physicist Mathias Heltberg of the University of Copenhagen, together with world-leading Harvard Medical School researchers, has discovered what controls the body’s most important tumor suppression mechanism. The…

Board games, card games and even computer games can be used to get children to eat more fruits and vegetables. Conversely, games can also encourage children to eat more unhealthy snacks. This is the conclusion of…

Genetic research in zebrafish at the University of Copenhagen has surprised the researchers behind the study. The results have the potential to change the prevalent perception of the cardiac disorder atrial fibrillation…

Contrary to previous belief, a neuroscientist from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences has shown the existence of a particular type of sphincter in the brain's blood supply in mice. The discovery changes the…
