In an online survey with more than 1,000 respondents, more than 80 percent of shared e-scooter users in both cities said they had to walk farther to find or to park around bus and train stations, says Boel Berg Wincent. (Photo: David Callahan)

Running late? New parking rules make shared e-scooters less convenient

Commuters trying to beat the clock account for nearly one third of shared electric scooter trips on a typical workday morning, recent research indicates. But reliance on these vehicles can be dampened...

"We can separate universal false alarm bells of inflammation from truly disease specific signals," says Mathias Uhlén, professor at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the director of the Human Protein Atlas project. (Photo: Gustav Ceder)

Pan-disease atlas maps molecular fingerprints of health, disease and aging

A new study has mapped the distinct molecular “fingerprints” that 59 diseases leave in an individual’s blood protein – which would enable blood tests to discern troubling signs from those that are mor...

In mapping the primary cilia in human cells, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have opened the door to identifying new disease-causing genes and better understanding of rare disorders. Pictured are the study's lead author, Jan Hansen (left) and Emma Lundberg, who leads the labs in Sweden and California where the research was performed.

Human cilia study finds new proteins, offers clues to childhood disorders

A research collaboration between KTH and Stanford reveals new insights into the "antennae" - or primary cilia - that human cells use for signal processing. This atlas of human cilia may contribute to ...
