Breast cancer is able to modify the lymphatic vessels through which it travels to the draining lymph nodes. From there, it can then spread to other parts of the body. A new finding by researchers from the University of Turku, Turku University Hospital and InFLAMES Flagship may help develop targeted therapies that could prevent this spread.
A new evaluation framework promises to capture the full value of security technology systems across their lifecycle, meeting stakeholder needs and driving innovation
New research shows that modern agriculture is impacting biodiversity inside protected areas in Europe, while some traditional agricultural practices may help preserve it.
Solar energy production and cultivation can be combined effectively, according to a recent study by the University of Turku. By utilising vertical bifacial solar panels, a farmer can profit economically from solar energy production, even if only 10% of the farmland is allocated to the panels.
Text and data mining is an automated technique for analyzing large amounts of digital data. It is now indispensable for scientific research, technological innovation, and the development of artificial intelligence. “Yet the regulatory framework governing TDM requires targeted amendments,” says Maryna Manteghi from the University of Turku, who has researched the topic.
The recycling of essential nutrients for plants, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, as well as the reuse of water from municipal wastewater requires improvement. The goal of the project coordinated by the University of Turku, "Reuse of Nutrients and Water from Human Based Sludge (ReNuW-Hubs)”, is to tackle this problem concretely.
A new international consortium project led by the University of Turku has received the EUREKA label and funding, with a total budget of €5.5 million. The project will pioneer breakthroughs in plasma generator technology for extreme-heat applications through multi-material laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing.
Researchers from Turku Bioscience Centre at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed a new computational method to interpret complex single-cell data. The method helps researchers identify and group cell types across samples.
How can we reduce food waste, improve the dining experience, and make restaurant dining more sustainable? How can digital innovations contribute to these goals? The final event of the Dining Flow project will present and discuss the results achieved during the project.
A recent study conducted at the University of Turku in Finland showed that hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea that occurs during pregnancy, is linked to depression. Women who experienced severe nausea were more likely to have depression both before and after pregnancy and to receive an earlier diagnosis of depression after pregnancy.
