Novel therapeutic could make stem cell transplants safer
Researchers at the Department of Medicine have developed a novel therapeutic which could reduce the risk of disease caused by a particular virus infection (human cytomegalovirus, HCMV) after stem cell transplants. They have repurposed an established anti-cancer therapy to create a fusion-toxin that specifically targets and kills infected cells from transplanted tissue. The work has […]
Crohn’s disease risk and prognosis determined by different genes, study finds
Crohn’s disease is one of a number of chronic ‘complex’ diseases for which there is no single gene that causes the disease. In fact, to date around 170 common genetic variants have been identified that each increase the risk of an individual developing the disease. The conventional wisdom has been that there exists a ‘tipping […]

A BLUEPRINT for blood cells: Cambridge researchers play leading role in major release of epigenetic studies
The studies are part of BLUEPRINT, a large-scale research project bringing together 42 leading European universities, research institutes and industry entrepreneurs, with close to €30 million of funding from the EU. BLUEPRINT scientists have this week released a collection of 26 publications, part of a package of 41 publications being released by the International Human […]
Multi-drug resistant infection spreading globally among cystic fibrosis patients

Dr Murray CH Clarke (Dept. Medicine) has been awarded nearly £1 million by the British Heart Foundation (BHF)
This is Dr Clarke’s first BHF programme grant entitled “Novel mechanisms that induce vascular inflammation” – with them granting £966,437. The research aims to understand processes that cause inflammation, which worsens heart and other diseases. Cells that die in blood vessels are usually eaten by other cells. However, when dead cells don’t get eaten they […]
