The findings, now published in the journal The BMJ, provide support for the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in a broad range of patients with type 2 diabetes, according to the researchers. Thu, 30 Apr 2020 09:19:37 +0200 https://news.ki.se/possible-new-treatment-strategy-against-progeria Progeria is a very rare disease that affects about one in 18 million children and results in premature aging and death in adolescence from complications of cardiovascular disease. In a study on mice and human cells, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and IFOM, the FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology in Italy, have identified how antisense oligonucleotide therapies could be used as a new possible treatment option for the disease. The results are published in Nature Communications. Mon, 18 Nov 2019 11:00:00 +0100 https://news.ki.se/new-board-of-directors-for-cimed Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:02:35 +0100
