It was incredibly motivating to see the impact of collaborative, patient-centered science.
An honor to be part of LiU’s first year at #SCRM.
We’re already looking forward to continuing our research and sharing new findings at next year’s meeting!

From our lab, Linda presented a talk on the hepatic #preMetastatic niche in #pancreaticcancer and how systemic effects of cancer may serve as biomarkers for metastasis.
Meanwhile, Mohamed, @jonasburman.bsky.social, and Verena contributed with poster presentations showcasing their exciting work!

Unlike normal cells, cancer cells can't convert homocysteine due to low MTR enzyme activity. We will investigate whether this methionine dependency is also present in patient tissue. If confirmed, adjusting homocysteine levels could help slow tumor growth without harming normal cells.

Recently, we got to celebrate our postdoc Mohamed Elhusseiny. 2025 grant awardee from Dr Per Håkansson’s Foundation for Research!
With this grant, we will explore a unique metabolic vulnerability in cancer cells: methionine dependency.
Did you know that cancer cells are addicted to methionine? 👀

Welcome to the PALEMA Cancer Society
PALEMA is for people with pancreatic, liver/bile, stomach or esophageal cancer. PALEMA is also for you if you are a family member of a person affected, if you work in the health sector or if you just ...
The Cancer Society of PALEMA is the first Swedish patient association that supports those directly and indirectly affected by cancers of the pancreas, liver, stomach and esophagus; promoting accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Want to know more about PALEMA? palema.org/en/

We’re proud to be part of SSPAC (The Swedish Study group for Pancreatic Cancer). This spring we got to share our ongoing work on the Pre-Metastatic Liver study. #pancreaticcancer #SSPAC
Our team didn’t just bring science, we also had milestones to celebrate! 🥳

"Once the tumour has spread to the liver, most patients unfortunately end up dying from the metastatic disease. One of the goals of this study was to try to capture early steps in the initiation of liver metastasis." -Constantinos Zambirinis

The most interesting thing is that there are differences in the liver depending on how the patients are progressing. We see markers for various changes that seem to have an impact on the spread of cancer, and that will be very exciting to follow up in expanded studies.

A liver biopsy may predict spread of pancreatic cancer.
This discovery holds the potential to improve how we anticipate disease progression and prevent pancreatic cancer from spreading to other organs.

We had the opportunity to take part in the very first Swedish Extracellular Vesicles Network meeting in Stockholm! 🧬
We presented our latest findings on cancer EVs as mediators of systemic disease. We got to say hejhej to our friend and colleague, David Lyden, who came all the way from New York!
