Hanna Thorsson och kollegor har utvecklat en immunterapi som i avancerade experimentella modeller effektivt dödar cancerceller i en undergrupp av leukemi. Studierna ingår i Thorssons avhandling som hon lägger fram 2 maj. Foto: Agata Garpenlind. Den vanligaste cancerformen hos barn är en viss typ av lymfatisk leukemi. Idag överlever de flesta barn som drabbas, men behandlingen är tung. I ett försök

– Vi har haft lite för låga tankar om bakterierna: vi såg att många av de här bakterierna från Ukraina är utrustade med gener som gör dem både resistenta och smittsamma, säger Kristian Riesbeck. Foto: Tove Smeds För ett och ett halvt år sedan kartlades bakterier från krigsskadade på sjukhus i Ukraina. Studien, som rönt stor uppmärksamhet, visade att en del av bakterierna var totalresistenta mot an
