University of Bergen researcher Markus Miettinen is among the first scientists to provide a detailed description of protein clumps associated with Huntington's disease. The findings, which could pave the way for new diagnostic tools and treatments, were recently presented in an article in Nature Communications.

Organoids, or living biobanks, are living tissue models widely used in biomedical research and drug screening. A recent review article published in the Chinese Medical Journal, systematically examines standardization efforts in organoid research, including operational procedures, laboratory establishment, and existing published guidelines related to organoid culture. The authors also discuss current challenges in the standardization of organoid construction, highlighting key areas for improvement.

A study published in National Science Review reveals that carbon-14 (C-14) from algae can integrate into zebrafish biomolecules through a food chain transfer pathway, causing metabolic changes and neurological alterations.
