A widely used anti-parasite drug awakens the virus from a dormant state in people living with HIV. This was discovered by scientists at Erasmus MC. ‘The road to cure is still long.’ Cynthia Lungu Raquel Crespo Henrieke Prins bit.ly/3ZTvmej

Erasmus MC participates in scientific studies of ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This is a form of life support that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs. amazingerasmusmc.com/heart/what-is-… #erasmusmc #ecmo

On December the 8th, the Van Nelle Fabriek in Rotterdam will host the #Science , #Education and #Innovation festival. Join researchers, students and start-ups in their quest to shape the future of healthcare. More info: aanmelder.nl/138088 TU Delft Erasmus University #erasmusmc

The best way to address risk factors for future #pandemics is a One Health approach that balances and optimizes the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. That is the message of the The Independent Task Force on #COVID -19 and other Pandemics. amazingerasmusmc.com/infection-immu… Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center (PDPC)

Already 20 years ago, the first study on gene therapy for the bleeding disorder #hemophilia B was published. Internist-hematologist Prof Dr Frank Leebeek explains what has happened since then. Is gene therapy the cure for the royal disease? amazingerasmusmc.com/internal-medic… #erasmsmc

A commentary in Nature Medicine advocates the proper application of artificial intelligence in healthcare and warns of the dangers of misusing machine learning algorithms. amazingerasmusmc.com/biomedical/hea… #erasmusmc

The #omicron BA.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 is less infectious in the brain and triggers less inflammation in brain cells than the virus variant responsible for the first SARS-CoV-2 wave. @debbyvanriel @lisabauervirus bit.ly/3KQQJqe

A patient with an immune disorder and neurological problems brought together an international team of scientists and clinicians from Rotterdam and Vienna. Together they determined that all his symptoms have the same genetic cause. bit.ly/3JLsWXU IMP Dr. Aleksandra Badura

American bladder cancer scientists have been awarded the prestigious R01 grant, together with #ErasmusMC urologist Dr. Tahlita Zuiverloon. The team will receive $3 million for research into the biology of chemotherapy resistance in #bladder #cancer . amazingerasmusmc.com/urology/3-mill…

In people with the rare neurological disease #ALSP , the white matter in the brain shrivels up, resulting in death. New research by #ErasmusMC scientists shows what is going on: loss of microglia, the brain’s ‘cleaning cells.’ amazingerasmusmc.com/brain/zebrafis…

A discovery by an international group of scientists has revived a 50-year-old philosophy about the origins of hearing loss. The ‘battery of the cochlea’ appears to play an important role. amazingerasmusmc.com/genetics/disco… #erasmusmc #hearingloss

Painkillers work poorly against low back pain. This is confirmed by researchers at #ErasmusMC , who reviewed all the available evidence. They appeal to general practitioners: think twice before prescribing pain medication for lower back pain. amazingerasmusmc.com/general-medici…

In minimal access surgery, the #abdomen is inflated to create workspace for the surgeon. The device used for inflation is outdated, according to a team of doctors and technicians. How can they get a new, smarter version to the operating theatre? amazingerasmusmc.com/surgery/this-d… #erasmusmc

The CRISPR-Cas system is not only reserved for bacteria, unicellular organisms, and plants. #CRISPR elements are also present in the human #genome , in numbers as high as 12,000. This was discovered by scientists at #ErasmusMC . amazingerasmusmc.com/genetics/crisp…

A study of more than eight million vaccinated people finds no increased risk of rare neurological events after covid-19 vaccination. An increased risk was, however, seen after SARS-CoV-2 infection. amazingerasmusmc.com/infection-immu… #erasmusmc

Researchers at #ErasmusMC have discovered a new player in #DNA damage repair. The protein HLTF plays a previously unknown role. ‘In retrospect, it makes sense that this step was missing.’ amazingerasmusmc.com/biomedical/pro…

The Erasmus MC Urothelial Cancer Research Group conducts research into the molecular biology of cancer of the urinary tract, aiming for a clear translation into the clinical applicability of the results of our research. More information: youtu.be/u2c8G1_9Zfw #ErasmusMC

Erasmus MC will receive over 7 million euros in research funds from the Horizon Europe initiative. The money will go to six projects, two of which are coordinated by #ErasmusMC scientists. The topics range from psychiatry to oncology. amazingerasmusmc.com/brain/7-millio…

Administration of the antithrombotic drugs acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or heparin during catheter treatment of #stroke patients leads to an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, with no beneficial effect on recovery. amazingerasmusmc.com/brain/administ… #erasmusmc
