Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories.

LiU researchers have pinpointed the exact location of a specific protein fine-tuning the strength of pain signals. The knowledge can be used to develop drugs for chronic pain that are more effective and have fewer side effects.

Antonios Pantazis has recently been awarded the prestigious Swedish Fernström Prize for his work on ion channels. His lab aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms of ion channels and their role in various diseases, such as epilepsy and arrhythmias.

How do you measure protein motion? Can you see protein molecules moving at high resolution? Antonios Pantazis is the most recently recruited research fellow at the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, and he has developed a method that he...

Researchers from LiU, Sweden and invited international scientists, will give talks focusing on a broad range of topics around science, medicine, and technology. The WCMM-LiU symposium is an opportunity to network, interact, and share ideas.

Sometimes, even the alteration of a single nucleotide in a gene can cause serious disease. A recent study sheds light on the molecular biology behind some forms of genetic epilepsy.
