Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt samband mellan exponering för PFAS och utveckling av astma. Resultaten visar att bland de barn vars mammor hade mycket hög PFAS-exponering under graviditeten var risken för astma betydligt högre än hos barn vars mammor hade lägre PFAS-exponering. PFAS (per- och polyfluoralkylsubstanser) är en stor grupp av syntetiska ämnen som kan förekomma i många prod

TEDDY-studien har bidragit till fördjupad kunskap om vad som händer före ett insjuknande i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1-diabetes) och visat att en maginfektion kan trigga igång celiaki. Nu har Lunds universitet fått drygt 40 miljoner kronor från amerikanska hälsovårdsministeriet NIH för att fortsätta med TEDDY-studien i ytterligare fem år. Forskarna i TEDDY-studien har en stor utmaning framför sig. –

När Kansli S. flyttar in i Allhelgonaskolan kommer många av medarbetarna behöva vänja sig vid förändrade arbetssätt – och arbeta mer aktivitetsbaserat. Byggnaden kommer även att öppnas upp för att alla som arbetar inom fakulteten ska kunna nyttja ett av våningsplanen för olika aktiviteter. Ett aktivitetsbaserat kontor utgår från en enkel tanke: olika arbetsuppgifter kräver olika miljöer. I stället

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a
