While it is well known that men and women have different health needs, have you ever considered why? The Systems Immunology research group, led by Camila Consiglio, has. Together, Lund Stem Cell Center’s newest members are working to uncover whether the answer lies in the differences between the female and male immune systems. “At the heart of our research is the question: how can we understand th

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a collaboration between Swedish and Italian researchers, the aim was to analyse how the brain interprets information from a virtual experience of touch, created by a finger prosthesis with artificial sensation. The result was – completely unexpectedly – a new method for measuring brain health. “We were able to meas

En ny studie visar att några minuters dagliga meditationsövningar via en vanlig mindfulness-app får hjärnan att sudda ut inlärda, men irrelevanta, rädslor. Enligt forskarna bakom studien pekar resultaten på att mindfulness skulle kunna effektivisera behandlingar av ångest och posttraumatisk stress.

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or
