The Baltic University Programme PhD Award supports high-quality research promoting sustainable development in a Baltic Sea Region context. This award is a distinction given to the author of what is judged to be the most qualified PhD work defended at any of the BUP participating universities according to the following criteria: originality, inter-/multi disciplinary approach,

New research published in the journal Aging Cell has demonstrated that rilmenidine, a drug used to treat hypertension, slows aging and extends lifespan in the model organism C. elegans. In the study, the researchers searched for compounds that induced a gene expression signature similar to caloric restriction. Caloric restriction is a well-known intervention that promotes increased lifespan

A very small study has suggested that just six minutes of daily, high-intensity exercise might extend the brain’s healthspan, and could delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers were interested in whether the availability of a molecule called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) could be increased in people, because BDNF availability

Hyperthermia (excess heats) refers to the use of high temperatures to treat cancer. When used to treat tumors locally, high temperatures can destroy cancer cells and even the blood vessels the supply vital nutrients to these cells. One way to administering heat to specific tumors involves the use of nanoparticles. The use of nanoparticle technology in conjunction

Johns Hopkins University College of Medicine researchers collaborated with the Lyme Disease Research Center to understand the neurological impacts of Lyme disease. They observed distinctive changes in the brain tissue physiology of patients with post-treatment Lyme disease. The findings published in the journal PLoS One suggest that memory and cognitive difficulties are linked to functional and structural changes in
