A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

De små blåsorna som sitter på cellytan har större betydelse för spridning av inflammation och ämnen till andra delar av kroppen än vad man tidigare känt till. – Resultaten förklarar hur inflammation kan spridas så snabbt och slå mot hela kroppens system som den gör vid sepsis. Kroppen har förmåga att skada sig själv mer än vad bakterierna i sig har, säger Heiko Herwald, professor vid Lunds univers
