Den förhöjda risken att insjukna i en demenssjukdom gäller både vid typ 1 och typ 2 diabetes. En väsentlig del av risken utgörs av alltför höga blodsockervärden. I en studie från University of California, San Francisco, USA, analys

Allt fler svenska tatuerar sig och Sveriges befolkning är nu en av de mest tatuerade i Europa. Samtidigt ökar förekomsten av melanom. En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet, tyder på att tatueringar kan vara en riskfaktor för melanom. Forskningsläget kring tatueringar och cancerMot bakgrund av det dåliga kunskapsläget kring långsiktiga hälsoeffekter av tatueringar, tillsammans med att

I slutet av oktober samlas beslutsfattare från hela världen för att diskutera biologisk mångfald på nästa COP-konferens i Colombia. ”Besluten som fattas där avgör framtiden för vår jord” säger en av forskarna som reser dit, Jesica López vid Lunds universitet. Hon är ursprungligen från Colombia men där ansågs hennes forskning om avskogning i hemlandet för farlig. Den colombianska regnskogen är en d

Researchers from Lund University, building on previous studies, have been working to understand why stem cells are transforming into cancer. Previously they revealed that small RNA molecules, long considered “junk” or degradation byproducts of RNA-sequencing, are emerging as key regulators of important cellular processes, like protein synthesis. Their latest discovery is published in Nature Cell B

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure wer

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

Where will the chemists and the physicists be located in the future? A recent report shows that it will be much more expensive to move to Science Village than if they stay on Sölvegatan.

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort
