En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information

En vanlig tarmbakterie vi alla bär på gynnas när tarmfloran slås ut av en antibiotikabehandling. Eftersom bakterien är resistent och smittsam orsakar den problem, särskilt inom sjukvården. Nu visar en studie ledd från Lunds universitet vilka mekanismer som samverkar för att göra bakterien resistent. – Med den här kunskapen hoppas vi kunna designa ännu bättre läkemedel, säger Vasili Hauryliuk, univ

Går det att förbättra antikropparna som kroppen tillverkar för att bekämpa SARS-CoV2? I en studie som publiceras i PNAS och som letts av forskare från Lunds universitet, har man undersökt detta genom att designa om antikroppar och kombinera dem mot viruset. De modifierade antikropparna har testats i möss och med mänskliga celler. Många av de antikroppar som använts för att behandla covid-infektion
