Overview

Bengt Samuelsson was affiliated with the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Their research spanned multiple fields including biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work contributed to subfields such as cancer research, molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine.

Their scientific output focused on topics including microRNA in disease regulation, immune response and inflammation, neonatal respiratory health research, advanced glycation end products research, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, RNA research and splicing, and RNA interference and gene delivery.

Frequent collaborators in their research included Jesper Z. Haeggström, Stella Uebbing, Marius Kreiß, Ulrike Garscha, and Oliver Werz.

Samuelsson published in multiple scientific journals, with a notable number of papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, The FASEB Journal, the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and Frontiers in Pharmacology.

Some of the recent papers authored or coauthored by Samuelsson were:

  • "Human leukocytes selectively convert 4 S,5 S -epoxy-resolvin to resolvin D3, resolvin D4, and a cys-resolvin isomer" (2021, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Modulation of microRNA processing by 5-lipoxygenase" (2020, The FASEB Journal)
  • "Dicer up-regulation by inhibition of specific proteolysis in differentiating monocytic cells" (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Modulation of the 5-Lipoxygenase Pathway by Chalcogen-Containing Inhibitors of Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase" (2023, International Journal of Molecular Sciences)
  • "The IRE1α Inhibitor KIRA6 Blocks Leukotriene Biosynthesis in Human Phagocytes" (2022, Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Throughout their career, Bengt Samuelsson received several professional recognitions and awards. These included the Nobel Prize in 1982 for discoveries related to prostaglandins and biologically active substances, membership in the National Academy of Sciences (1984), Fellowship of the Royal Society in the United Kingdom (1990), and membership in Academia Europaea (1988). Further honors were the Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1982), Canada Gairdner International Award (1981), Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research (1977), and membership in the Association of American Physicians.
