Can a very common allergy medicine improve survival among patients suffering from the serious skin cancer, malignant melanoma? A new study from Lund University in Sweden indicates that this may be the case. “Previous studies have shown that the same antihistamines have survival benefits in breast cancer. Now we see the same thing concerning malignant melanoma. However, more research is required to

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has shown no correlation between obesity and how close you live to fast food restaurants or gyms. Studies from other countries have previously indicated that these factors may be important in adult obesity. The areas where we live are known to be important for our health. For example, obesity is more prevalent in deprived neighbourhoods. Deprived neighbou

Six-month old infants recognize when adults imitate them, and perceive imitators as more friendly, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The babies looked and smiled longer at an adult who imitated them, as opposed to when the adult responded in other ways. Babies also approached them more, and enga

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

Toxic versions of the protein tau are believed to cause death of neurons of the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. A new study published in Nature Communications shows that the spread of toxic tau in the human brain in elderly individuals may occur via connected neurons. The researchers could see that beta-amyloid facilitates the spread of toxic tau. The present study is a collaboration between Lund Un

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common forms of blood cancer among adults and is associated with a low survival rate, and leads to the inhibition of normal blood formation. Now, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has identified one of the genes that is the basis for leukemia stem cells’ survival and multiplication. The study is published in Cell Reports. AML is the result

Låga löner, obetalda timmar och dålig framförhållning. Så ser vardagen ut för många gymnasieungdomar som jobbar. Ändå klagar de sällan. Arbetslivserfarenhet och ”anställningsbarhet” värderas högre än schyssta villkor – åtminstone är det vad ungdomar framhåller i de intervjuer som sociologen Anna Kallos gjort. Andelen gymnasieelever som arbetar har stigit med sex procent på tio år, och för tjejer n

Flytten till särskilt boende är ofta den sista i livet – och en av de största omställningarna en människa kan behöva göra. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar hur äldre själva upplever flytten och vad som krävs för att den ska bli så bra som möjligt. Linda Arvidsson, forskare i socialt arbete, har följt sju äldre personer, 87–95 år gamla, när de flyttade från sina hem till äldreboenden. De h
