Microscopic changes in the liver can be used to predict spread of pancreatic cancer. The discovery may provide new ways of predicting the course of the disease and preventing pancreatic cancer from spreading to other organs.

Linda Bojmar has played a significant role in a groundbreaking study recently published in Nature. The study sheds new light on how cancers in distant organs can profoundly impact liver function, providing crucial insights for cancer treatment.

In a recently published research paper, researchers, including Linda Bojmar as first author, have developed a protocol for accurate characterization of extracellular vesicles and particles (EVP) in both humans and mice.

Fourteen researchers at LiU have received grants totalling more than SEK 64 million. This is the result when the Swedish Research Council has awarded nearly SEK 1.1 billion in research grants for the medical and health sciences.

Ten researchers from Linköping University have received more than 24 million Swedish kronor from this year’s allocation of funds from the Swedish Cancer Society.

Small particles released by cancer cells into the blood contain specific proteins. In a new international study, the investigators have been able to match specific EVP profiles with various types of cancer, including early stages.

Linda Bojmar is to research the role of the liver in the processes whereby pancreatic cancer can spread secondary tumours to the liver. She has received 6.8 million Swedish kronor for a research project from the Swedish Society for Medical Research.

What’s it like to lead a research group, spend half your life on an airplane across the Atlantic, while making sure that family life runs smoothly? This is the reality facing Linda Bojmar every day, now back in Linköping to work on a unique study.
