Meeting a deaf baby caused Eva Karltorp to dare to question the established treatment of congenital deafness. Now the majority of deaf children can talk as well as those with hearing.

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet present a new protein mechanism in an article in PNAS that may help to improve blood flow in a tissue in the event of low oxygen levels for example following a stroke. The hope now is that these new findings can be used conversely in the development of anti-cancer medicines.

A new mechanism that regulates the way blood vessels grow and connect to each other has been discovered by an international team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet, and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany. The knowledge might open up new opportunities for future cancer therapy. The study is published in the scientific journal PNAS.
