Det mesta vi vet om små barns utveckling grundar sig på forskning om barn som lever med en mamma och en pappa. Ett stort forskningsprojekt vid Lunds universitet ska nu inkludera fler familjekonstellationer för att ta reda på hur familjen påverkar barns utveckling. – Vi vill gärna förstå mer om vad varje förälder bidrar med för att skapa trygghet hos barnet, säger forskaren Elia Psouni till DN.

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo
