For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid
Our chief veterinarian, Anders Forslid, is retiring with mixed feelings, but sees new exciting opportunities opening up.
