Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time.

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the
