New machine speeds up trials on cells

LiU researchers have used high-throughput electrophysiology experiments with a borrowed machine to see how ion channels in cells are influenced by drugs. A new collaboration with the biotech industry.

A drug from resin to combat epileptic seizures

New molecules, developed by researchers at Linköping University, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy. A study published in the journal Epilepsia shows that several of the molecules have antiseizure effects.

Drug development – not only in industry

Neuroscientists obtain support from SciLifeLab when working to develop new drugs against epilepsy. The project is the first from Linköping University that has been accepted as a full program for the Drug Discovery and Development Platform (DDD).

From the lab to the clinic

Countless companies have been founded on a promising research result or a truly great idea. But what is needed in order to translate this into a product or service? Meet two researchers in neurobiology who have taken on the role of entrepreneur.

New method to dampen nerve signals

Researchers at LiU have discovered a previously unknown molecular binding site that can influence electrical impulses in nerves. The discovery opens the possibility of designing new types of drugs against conditions such as epilepsy.

Resin may provide medicine against epilepsy

Sticky resin from conifers contains substances that could relieve or cure epilepsy. Researchers at Linköping University have synthesized and tested 71 substances known as resin acids, of which twelve are prime candidates for new medicines.
