Annelie Falkevall and her co-workers showed that modulating the signalling pathway that controls lipid accumulation in the kidneys might be a possible strategy to treat diabetic kidney disease. Quantification of specific lipids by lipidomics analyses done at the Swedish Metabolomics Centre supported their studies.

Agilent Technologies, specialists in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, promote research at the Swedish Metabolomics Centre in Umeå. During a whole year researchers will be permitted to test run one of the company’s most advanced instruments.
At a seminar at the Chemical Biological Centre in Umeå on September 4th Peter Abrahamsson, Agilent’s product specialist for mass spectrometry in the Nordic countries, had good news: From October Swedish research will have access to their latest technology in mass spectrometry, an Ion Mobility Q-TOF, which will make it possible to conduct metabolite research which currently is difficult to perform anywhere else in Europe.
