An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

– I have red cells in my dish! When the phone call from PhD student Fábio Rosa came through, Professor Filipe Pereira knew that this was the start of something big. All their work had been leading to this moment. The red cells in the dish were from a mouse, and Filipe and his colleagues had been trying to reprogramme them into dendritic cells, specfically type 1 conventional dendritic cells, (cDC1

Each year, one in four women suffers from bacterial vaginosis, something that is currently treated with antibiotics. However, recently a gentler, antibiotic-free alternative has been authorised for sale in the EU. The chance discovery behind the innovation was made by a group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden. Stinging, itching and odorous vaginal discharge is a common and a stigmatise

Living with bipolar disorder means constantly balancing between extremes – something that can be particularly difficult if the diagnosis is met with silence and stigmatisation. To raise awareness of mental illness and why it concerns us all, including at work, five LTH departments have joined forces and invited speaker Henrik Wahlström. In his lecture, he shares his own experiences of bipolar diso

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. After your PhD, the clock starts ticking fast. For a young researcher there are no guarantees that you will have a long career in research. Still, you have to give it your all, often while combining it with having small children. There is no time for you to draw up a plan B. In this equation, Pontus Nordenfelt from Fu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.

Idag vet forskarna det mesta om vilka gener som gör att vi föds med just vår blodgrupp. Däremot är inte mycket känt om vad som styr mängden blodgruppsmolekyler hos personer med samma eller liknande blodgrupp. Och det kan spela roll för transfusionssäkerheten. Nu har en forskargrupp i Lund utvecklat ett verktyg som ger svar – och på kuppen löst en 50-årig blodgåta. Studien där det bioinformatiska v

Ditt namn på en ytterdörr. En självklarhet för oss allra flesta, men långt ifrån en verklighet för alla. I Sverige finns idag 33 000 hemlösa och siffran är stigande. För att bryta den negativa spiralen vill forskare vid Socialhögskolan ändra hemlöshetspolitiken med att satsa än mer på det lyckade projektet Bostad först. Att kunna stänga dörren om sig och kalla något sitt eget är grundtanken i att

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Diabetessjukdomarna har haft många namn. Från de som fanns innan insulinbehandling introducerades, sjukdomen beskrevs då som en mild form, en svårartad och en farlig till dagens mångfald av olika diabetessjukdomar. Den alltmer brokiga bilden är ett resultat av de växande insikterna om orsaken till sjukdomen och om v
