Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience. We sat down with Anders

Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

In October, Predrag Bakic received a research grant from the Swedish Breast Cancer Association for 600 000 SEK. His research focuses on the evaluation of a novel clinical imaging system for early breast cancer screening, which combines X-ray and mechanical imaging of the breast.   Predrag Bakic is a visiting researcher in diagnostic radiology at Lund University, supported by a Marie Curie Fellowsh

In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new, efficient method based on the genetic scissors CRISPR-Cas9, that facilitates antibody development. The discovery is published in Nature Communications. Antibody drugs are the fastest growing class of drug, and several therapeu

In May, screening for colorectal cancer will be offered in Skåne to all those born in 1961. Subsequently, Swedes aged 60 to 74 will be tested for blood in their faeces, to detect cancer at an early stage. Once all regions in Sweden have introduced the screening, at least 300 lives are expected to be saved per year. Sweden has been slow to introduce screening; this spring, Skåne will become the thi

3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.   “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and t
