Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

En randomiserad klinisk studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet har jämfört effekten av intravenös behandling med ketamin mot ECT-behandling vid svår depression. Resultaten stärker bilden av ketamin som en möjlig behandling, men visar också att ECT-behandling hjälper fler. Under senare år har ketamin seglat upp som en ny behandling, eftersom studier visat att det har en antidepressiv effekt.

How can images show that the world we live in is being subjected to ongoing climate change? This is the research question being considered by Adam Brenthel, a doctoral student in art history. He has studied researchers’ attempts to translate their findings into images to better communicate them to the general public. He thinks polar bears, the animal most often used to symbolise climate change, ar

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours

Klimatkrisen är allvarlig. Lika allvarlig är utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden i världen. Forskning och arbete sker för att lindra båda kriserna. Problemet är att åtgärderna hittills inte har samordnats. I en internationell studie pekar forskare på vikten av att ta hänsyn till båda kriserna samtidigt, både inom forskning och vad gäller konkreta åtgärder. – Klimatåtgärder kan inte bortse frå
