In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c

Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c
