Att diagnostisera epilepsi är resurskrävande och det finns risk att sjukdomen förväxlas med andra tillstånd med liknande symptom. Det gör det angeläget att hitta bättre diagnosmetoder redan när en patient kommer in på akuten efter ett misstänkt anfall. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet har i kliniska studier upptäckt en biomarkör, ett protein som var förhöjt både före, under och efter ett epi

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information

En vanlig tarmbakterie vi alla bär på gynnas när tarmfloran slås ut av en antibiotikabehandling. Eftersom bakterien är resistent och smittsam orsakar den problem, särskilt inom sjukvården. Nu visar en studie ledd från Lunds universitet vilka mekanismer som samverkar för att göra bakterien resistent. – Med den här kunskapen hoppas vi kunna designa ännu bättre läkemedel, säger Vasili Hauryliuk, univ

Går det att förbättra antikropparna som kroppen tillverkar för att bekämpa SARS-CoV2? I en studie som publiceras i PNAS och som letts av forskare från Lunds universitet, har man undersökt detta genom att designa om antikroppar och kombinera dem mot viruset. De modifierade antikropparna har testats i möss och med mänskliga celler. Många av de antikroppar som använts för att behandla covid-infektion

When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

A landmark study led from Lund, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lose nerve cells in

When researchers at Stem Cell Center investigated how the molecule UM171 works, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, they made an unexpected connection. The results provide new insights into how one of the most common malignant brain tumours in children could be treated in the future. UM171 is a synthetic molecule developed by researchers at Université de Montréal. In stem cell resea

Researchers at Lund University show that blood stem cells during early development are considerably more flexible than corresponding cells in adults. The findings provide new knowledge about how the immune system develops and may also contribute to understanding why certain forms of childhood leukemia are thought to originate before birth. All blood and immune cells are formed from blood stem cell
