By utilising state-of-the-art proteomics methods, the doctoral research identified protein networks of the androgen receptor, the main transcription factor of prostate cancer.

According to a recent Finnish study, high levels of sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity from childhood strain the heart in adolescence.

New research sheds light on the significance of the glucocorticoid receptor in drug-resistant prostate cancer, showing that the development of drug resistance could be prevented by limiting the activity of coregulator proteins.

“The brain’s immune cells, microglia, are implicated in virtually all neurological diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease,” said University Professor Christian Madry.

It may be possible to restore drug-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer to a state that responds to treatment by depletion of a certain protein in cancer cells.

Many athletes compete at the peril of their reproductive health. “This applies to both men and women,” says Professor Anthony Hackney.

A recent study shows that genetic variation determines chromatin accessibility and the binding of transcription factors.

The regional Kuopio Brain & Mind network at Neurocenter Finland promotes brain health through multidisciplinary collaboration. The network’s activities are now boosted by new multi-talented professionals.

A healthier diet is associated with serum metabolite concentrations indicative of better cardiovascular health already in school-aged children, a recent study shows.

The awards ceremony was held on 20 December 2023 at Kuopio Campus.
