In his dissertation, Staffan Edling, a recent PhD graduate in sociology from Lund University, examines how knowledge and politics interact within the Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO). He shows that the boundary between fact-finding and political advocacy is often blurred - and sometimes disappears altogether. Since the 1930s, LO has employed experts to strengthen its political position a

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

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
