A1M Pharma - Professors of Medicine Bo Åkerström and Stefan Hansson discovered that free fetal hemoglobin is harmful if it leaks into the mother’s blood circulation. This was how they came up with an idea to cure preeclampsia, a disease that worldwide kills one woman every three minutes. The drug is based on protein A1M, an endogenous substance that captures and neutralises toxic substances in the body. The protein protects tissue from inflammation when cells rupture. A1M is mainly produced in the liver, where it is secreted into the blood and quickly transported to all tissue before it is finally broken down in the kidneys.

Optifreeze - Frozen fruit and vegetables lose both taste and consistency when they are defrosted. However, freezing technology could now take a new turn, thanks to a new method from the researchers behind the food company OptiFreeze.Their new method is based on the same technique that makes grass green again after a long, cold winter. The blades of grass contain a protein that protects the cells. By inserting this natural protein into fruit and vegetables before freezing, the cell structures can be preserved intact. This in turn helps preserve the taste, structure and quality of the food throughout the freezing process.
