In a major study of hereditary breast cancer, a global network of researchers (including some from Lund University) has identified over 350 faults in DNA that increase an individual’s risk of developing the disease. The researchers believe that these faults can affect as many as 190 genes. Published in Nature Genetics, a scientific journal, the results are said to be the thus far most comprehensiv

In their quest to find new and better methods to make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment, Karin Lindkvist and her research group at Lund University in Sweden are looking into the world of molecules, using the X-rays at the MAX IV laboratory. The researchers believe that limiting the cells' access to sugar will make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Karin Lindkvist in the laboratory

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in

By preventing sugar uptake, researchers succeeded in increasing the cancer cells’ sensitivity to chemotherapeutic treatment. The studies, led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, were carried out on cancer cells in a lab environment. The results were recently published in the research journal Haematologica. Just like the body’s cells, cancer cells need energy like the sugar molecule, gluco

A new way of identifying cancer biomarkers has been developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The new technology allows very sensitive, quick and cost-effective identification of cancer biomarkers. The research is published in Nature Communications Biology. Today, every third person will get cancer in their lifetime, and the current trend suggests that in a few years that number will

A new and promising approach for treatment of lung cancer has been developed by researchers at Lund University. The treatment combines a novel surgical approach with smart nanoparticles to specifically target lung tumors. The new study has been published in the July issue of Advanced Therapeutics. Lung tumors are often difficult to remove using current surgical techniques due to their location in

A new study from Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden indicates that potency-enhancing PDE5 inhibitor drugs have an anti-cancer potential with the ability to improve the prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. PDE5 inhibitors include a few approved drugs in which sildenafil (Viagra) is the most well-known. The article is published in Nature Communications. “Available preclinical eviden

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a computational model which is effective in detecting and identifying genetic mutations in breast tumours. The study, the largest of its kind in the world, includes results from over 3 200 patients with breast cancer. The researchers used RNA sequencing, a sensitive, precise tool which has very gradually started to be applied clinically, alth

A drug has shown great promise in the treatment of neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer. The study was led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, and is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Every year, about 800 children in the US are diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer of the nervous system that most frequently arises in the adrenal glands

Efter flera års arbete har Kirik och hans samarbetspartners lyckats ta fram ett helt nytt instrument som ”hyperpolariserar” molekyler och därmed gör dem möjliga att spåra med magnetresonansavbildning (MRI). Det nya instrumentet är det enda i sitt slag i Norden och tekniken öppnar upp en helt ny värld av möjligheter för att i detalj studera hur nervceller fungerar. Projektet har möjliggjorts genom
