• A new EEG shows how brain tracts are formed
  In the past few years, researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, have made several breakthroughs in discovering how the brain of preterm babies work, in developing treatments to protect the brain, and in developing research methods suitable for hospital use. (20.2.2012)
  
• Genetic regulation of metabolomic biomarkers – paths to cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes
  The new findings of the researchers at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) may help in elucidating the processes leading to common diseases. The study was published in Nature Genetics.(1.2.2012)
  
• Breast cancer spread triggered by a cleaver-wielding protein on cancer cell’s surface 
  Scientists from the University of Helsinki and UCSF have exposed a cell pathway that breast tumor cells use to destruct local tissue neighborhood. Cancer cells may use this pathway to free themselves from mammary epithelial tissue architecture, to spread to surrounding tissues.(23.1.2012)
