A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

What we eat and drink impacts people and the environment in many ways – thanks to the way food is produced, transported and used. New guidelines for purchasing foodstuffs raise our ambitions and clarify the University’s role on issues of sustainable food production. The target is to increase the proportion of food that is vegetarian and in season, and for food wastage to be reduced. Food is a sust

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In recent years, cell and gene therapies have shown promising results in eve

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes.

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
