Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a novel target for the expansion of human blood stem cells ex vivo and shed light on the mechanism of action of a stem cell promoting molecule, currently in phase II clinical trials. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative therapy for many patients suffering from life threatening blood disorders. This treatment is currently limit

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new method to treat human herpes viruses. The new broad-spectrum method targets physical properties in the genome of the virus rather than viral proteins, which have previously been targeted. The treatment consists of new molecules that penetrate the protein shell of the virus and prevent genes from leaving the virus to infect the cell. It
