Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered a new way cells communicate with each other using antennae-like structures called primary cilia. This breakthrough sheds light on the causes of debilitating diseases such as heart defects and birth defects, highlighting the importance of TGFβ signalling in fetal development.
Researchers have developed a new coupled numerical hydrodynamic water quality model to simulate dynamic changes in river water quantity and quality. The model was validated in the Luan River Basin, showing accuracy requirements were met for both water level and flow data, as well as water quality characteristics.
A recent study reveals that rare mitochondrial mutations are more prevalent than previously thought, affecting 7.1% of patients with a respiratory chain disorder. Comprehensive analysis of all mitochondrial DNA is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen are investigating which strategies work to improve social cohesion and trust in society. They will compare Denmark with Canada, France, and the UK, examining different understandings of community and their impact on social cohesion.
