Welcome Maria!
Exciting Announcement!
Join us in welcoming our newest team member, Maria Andersson to the Ebba Biotech family! We’re thrilled to have Maria on board as our Team and Sales Lead, bringing a genuine excitement to push Ebba Biotech forward in the Life Science industry.
About Maria
I’m originally from the northern part of Sweden but relocated to Uppsala in 2018 to pursue a Bachelor’s in Biomedicine. After three years, my curiosity for the business side of the life science industry led me to the Master’s program in Bioentrepreneurship at Karolinska Institutet, from which I graduated this June. I’m now very excited for the journey ahead at Ebba Biotech, where I can apply my knowledge and continue learning from the talented team already working in the company.
- I don’t drink coffee
- I ran the Stockholm Marathon this summer (it was the first and also the last time I did that)
- I watch a lot of reality TV shows, especially Swedish ones

Exciting Discovery Alert!
β-2-microglobulin is a protein present in all nucleated cells and is elevated in many tumors or inflammatory diseases. It is well known that the protein has a propensity for aggregation. A study published in the journal Immunity by Hofbauer et al. has investigated the role of β-2-microglobulin aggregates on the activation of inflammatory processes in Multiple Myeloma. Amtracker 480 has been used in the study to detect amyloid aggregates of β-2-microglobulin in live macrophages and detected by Flow Cytometry.

Did you know that Protein Aggregation can play a role in wound healing?
A publication in iScience by Jitka Petrlova from Artur Schmidtchen’s group at Lunds University discovered an interesting connection between Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and the wound healing process. The researchers found that LPS, the outer membrane component of gram-negative bacteria, can induce protein aggregation in wounds and isolated wound fluids. This process would, in turn, reduce inflammation and contribute to wound healing. To detect the formation of amyloid-like aggregates, they used Amytracker 680 and observed under a fluorescent microscope.

An increase in the Amytracker 680 signal indicates aggregates in AWFs after the addition of LPS. Image from Figure 2D by Petrlova et al. (CC BY 4.0)

In case you missed it - April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month!
Did you know that, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation, more than 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease? Here at Ebba Biotech we are constantly in discussions with academics and industries that are actively researching and developing therapies to tackle Parkinson’s disease using our Amytracker product family as a visualisation tool.
One company we would like to highlight is reMYND! The team at reMYND have been utilising the Amytracker 520 variant to enhance their imaging in mice - just look at the images below and hear from reMYND themselves!
“Focusing on the top image, we peer into the injection site (dorsal striatum), where pathogenic fibrils lurk (using DAPI as a nuclear stain). But the story doesn’t end there -as the pathology spreads throughout the mouse brain, it infiltrates crucial regions like the amygdala (lower image). With exceptional precision, Amytracker detects Lewy Bodies and Lewy Neurites, pivotal entities in Parkinson’s disease pathology. Paving the way for quantification of drug efficacy or target engagement studies for our clients.”
We are excited to follow reMYND as they continue to create positive change in the neurodegenerative field. To learn more about their work click here
Exciting breakthrough in neuroscience research!
A repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene is the most frequent cause of ALS and FTD. Researchers from Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and University Medical Center Gröningen revealed the molecular mechanism behind Dipeptide Repeat Proteins (DRP) cytotoxicity in their publication in the journal eLife. They used Amytracker 680 to localize and characterize both cytoplasmic and nuclear DRP aggregates.
