MenyPOTS common in patients with long COVID3.10.2025 11:33:37 CEST | Press Release
A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that an unusual heart rhythm disorder, POTS, is particularly common in people with long COVID. The majority of those affected are middle-aged women. The study is published in the scientific journal Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.
Simple test can predict risk of severe liver disease29.9.2025 09:00:00 CEST | Press Release
A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in the scientific journal The BMJ, shows how a simple blood analysis can predict the risk of developing severe liver disease. The method may already start to be applied in primary care to enable the earlier detection of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver.
Press invitation: Announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 202523.9.2025 13:00:00 CEST | Press Invitation
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2025 will be announced on Monday October 6 at 11.30 am CEST (at the earliest).
How mutations in bodily tissues affect ageing20.8.2025 11:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect ageing. The studies, which are published in Nature Aging, show that such mutations can reduce muscle strength and accelerate blood vessel ageing. The results can be of significance to the treatment of age-related diseases.
New research confirms that neurons form in the adult brain3.7.2025 20:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides answers to a fundamental and long-debated question about the human brain’s adaptability.
Gene therapy restored hearing in deaf patients2.7.2025 11:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Gene therapy can improve hearing in children and adults with congenital deafness or severe hearing impairment, a new study involving researchers at Karolinska Institutet reports. Hearing improved in all ten patients, and the treatment was well-tolerated. The study was conducted in collaboration with hospitals and universities in China and is published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Maximilian Ackermann receives the 2025 Lennart Nilsson Award27.6.2025 11:52:49 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Doctor Maximilian Ackermann, currently working as a Professor of Pathology at the RWTH University Clinics Aachen and Helios University Hospital Wuppertal, Germany, and as anatomist at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is awarded the 2025 Lennart Nilsson Award for his outstanding contributions to scientific imaging, revealing critical insights into diseases, such as COVID-19 and cancer.
New drug for diabetes and obesity shows promising results23.6.2025 17:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Lower blood sugar and increased fat burning – without negatively affecting appetite or muscle mass. These are some of the most promising effects of a new potential drug treatment for people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, according to a new study published in the journal Cell by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University.
Autism linked to elevated risk of Parkinson’s disease27.5.2025 17:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
People with an autism diagnosis are at a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease early in life, a large-scale study from Karolinska Institutet published in JAMA Neurology reports. The researchers believe that the two conditions can share underlying biological mechanisms.
A gene variant increases the risk of long COVID21.5.2025 18:14:46 CEST | Pressmeddelande
An international team of researchers has found a genetic link to long-term symptoms after COVID-19. The identified gene variant is located close to the FOXP4 gene, which is known to affect lung function. The study, published in Nature Genetics, was led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland.
Long COVID biomarkers found – associated with respiratory problems30.4.2025 17:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified biomarkers in the blood associated with symptoms of long COVID, particularly severe respiratory disorders. The discovery can pave the way for future diagnosis and treatment. The results are published in the top-ranking scientific journal Nature Immunology.
Higher cigarette taxes may improve childhood survival30.4.2025 00:30:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
A higher tax on cigarettes in low and middle-income countries can help to reduce child mortality, especially amongst the poorest children, a new study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and published in The Lancet Public Health suggests.
New method reveals how the brain and inner ear are formed3.4.2025 20:00:00 CEST | Pressmeddelande
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labelling stem cells with a genetic ‘barcode’, they have been able to follow the cells’ developmental journey and discover how the inner ear is formed in mice. The discovery, published in Science, could provide important insights for future treatment of hearing loss.
Fluoride in drinking water is associated with impaired childhood cognition7.3.2025 15:30:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
Elevated concentrations of fluoride can occur in well water, and in some countries, it is added to drinking water to counteract caries in the population. A study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now supports a few previous studies indicating that exposure to fluoride during the fetal stage or early childhood may impair cognition in children. The study is published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Children with ARFID face increased risk of disease17.2.2025 17:00:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
Children with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) have an elevated risk of developing psychiatric and physical conditions, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in JAMA Pediatrics reports. The study highlights the importance of early identification to improve care of these children.
Preterm babies receive insufficient pain management27.1.2025 15:29:17 CET | Pressmeddelande
A large proportion of babies born very early need intensive care, which can be painful. But the healthcare system fails to provide pain relief to the full extent. This is shown by the largest survey to date of pain in neonatal care, now published in the journal Pain.
New study paves way for immunotherapies tailored for childhood cancers20.1.2025 17:00:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and the Astrid Lindgren Children’s Hospital in Sweden have determined how children’s immune systems react to different kinds of cancer depending on their age. The study, which is published in the journal Cell, reveals significant differences between the immune response of children and adults, and has the potential to lead to new tailored treatments for children with cancer.
AI can improve ovarian cancer diagnoses2.1.2025 11:00:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
A new international study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that AI-based models can outperform human experts at identifying ovarian cancer in ultrasound images. The study is published in Nature Medicine.
Women who suffer pregnancy complications have fewer children25.11.2024 17:00:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
Women who suffer severe complications during their first pregnancy or delivery are less inclined to have more babies, a study published in JAMA by researchers at Karolinska Institutet reports. Given the recent steady decline in birth rate in Sweden, the researchers propose monitoring in antenatal care to address the problem.
Very early medication abortion is effective and safe6.11.2024 23:00:00 CET | Pressmeddelande
Clinics and hospitals currently defer medication abortion until ultrasound confirms a pregnancy inside the uterus. However, a large international study led by researchers from Karolinska Institutet now indicates that treatment can be equally effective and safe even before the sixth week of pregnancy. The study is published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
