CNPase is an enzyme present at high levels in myelinating cells. Novel nanobody tools developed in an international collaboration were used to identify binding epitopes at atomic resolution and visualise myelin. Additionally, the nanobodies were used as intrabodies to bind to CNPase in living cells. These nanotools will be valuable for future research on myelin and its molecules.

Associate Professor Marc Vaudel and Professor Linda Grรถning at the University of Bergen have each been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant.
Oxygen is vital for human life and so is our ability to respond to low oxygen levels. Researchers at the University of Oxford and University of Bergen have uncovered new factors defining how human cells respond to hypoxia.
African and European researchers in the HEPI-Project support East and West African health systems to sustainably strengthen their health economic foundations.
The Norwegian Cancer Society has recently allocated their 2024 grants to current cancer research projects. Eight researchers from Bergen made the final cut, including three from CCBIO.
An up-to-date description of the global burden of leukemia by subtype utilizing population-based cancer registries from around the world.
Kari Strรธno Wagner-Larsen defended November 15, 2024 her doctoral work at the University of Bergen with the thesis "Advanced MRI for developing more personalized treatment strategies in uterine cervical cancer". Wagner-Larsen's doctoral work includes four studies showing that traditional as well as advanced, computer-assisted MRI analyses (radiomics) improve the risk assessment of patients with... Read more
A large study from Zambia, published in eClinicalMedicine, found that financial support combined with comprehensive sexuality education and community dialogue meetings, can moderately reduce adolescent births and increase the proportion of girls who complete basic education
PhD students Shanshan Xu and Robin Mzati Sinsamala from the Greenness, Air Pollution, and health (GAP) research group attended the Urban Transitions 2024 conference held from 5-7 November in Sitges, Spain, an event closely aligned with the GAPยดs focus on the health impacts of urban air pollution and greenness exposure.
On 14 October 2024, the EU Council formally adopted the revised Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD). This pivotal legislation introduces stricter limits on major air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3), aligning it more with the World Health Organization (WHO)'s 2021 air quality guidelines (AQGs).

European researchers have mapped the most comprehensive phenotyping of neuropathic pain and identified genetic markers associated with this serious condition. The new findings could be especially important for diabetes-patients.
In Norway, approximately 500 new cases of thyroid cancer are diagnosed annually. About half of those diagnosed are less than 50 years old, and females constitute two thirds of the patients. The incidence of thyroid cancer is on the rise both in Norway and worldwide. Fortunately, the prognosis is quite good, and most patients are cured by surgery alone. Because the surgical treatment often... Read more
