En storskalig studie av avförings- och blodprover visar att det finns starka kopplingar mellan tarmbakterier och metaboliter i blodet. Forskarna bakom studien har bland annat hittat nya associationer mellan ett vanligt läkemedel för behandling av typ 2-diabetes och tarmfloran. Studien har letts av forskare vid Uppsala universitet och Lunds universitet. Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har bl

Narrativ medicin använder konst, musik och litteratur som verktyg för att förstå patienter. En av de främsta pionjärerna inom ämnet heter professor Rita Charon från Columbia University och hon kommer att hålla årets Sandblom Prize Lecture den 4 oktober. Vårdpersonal som fått utbildning i narrativ medicin är ofta bättre på att lyssna in, att förstå andras perspektiv. Det kan såklart handla om patie

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

Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the bo
