Pioneering conservation strategies for non-wood-inhabiting decomposer fungi

  Research Group: Organisms and Environment
Fungi are an essential part of every ecosystem but are under-studied and often overlooked. Effective fungal conservation is frequently hampered by a lack of knowledge about the ecology of the species under consideration. Read more

Acute pancreatitis as a side effect of asparaginase-based treatments for Childhood ALL: mechanism and improvements

  Research Group: Biomedicine
The most effective drugs for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are based on asparaginase (Raja_2012). However, in up to 17% of cases, they cause a serious, life-threatening complication - acute pancreatitis (AP), which forces treatment to be stopped. Read more
