Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognost

Dagligt intag av en mjölksyrabakterie, som fått namnet Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL19, ser ut att kunna förebygga fetma och minska kroppens så kallade låggradiga inflammation.

Cancerpatienter som tog emot ett negativt sjukdomsbesked upplevde läkarna som mindre empatiska än patienter som fick ett mer positivt besked. Lundaforskarna bakom studien tror dels att det handlar om rollen som budbärare av ett så negativt besked. Men också om att läkare i en slimmad vårdorganisation tenderar att tappa bort mottagandet av patientens känslor. I studien ingick 186 cancerpatienter vi

Textile – a growing sustainability challengeWe are buying more clothes than ever before, but there is still no efficient system to close the material loop.

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

USA och EU har sedan det andra världskriget haft en nära förbindelse, men de senaste åren har den transatlantiska relationen försämrats avsevärt. Med Donald Trump åter i maktens korridorer tyder allt på ytterligare utmaningar i samarbetet. Han har redan hotat med tullar mot EU, föreslagit att erövra Grönland från Danmark och antytt att han kan dra tillbaka det amerikanska stödet till Ukraina. Den

When the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people – but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny “fat droplets”, the vaccines could never have been delivered into the body’s cells. And the fact is that these small particles will probably have more assignments in the future.

Frontotemporal dementia begins relatively early compared to other forms of dementia.

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu
