By injecting a solution of nanoparticles around the heart, a temporary heart stimulator self-assembles, which can correct heart arrhythmia in emergencies with the help of an external power source. After treatment, the electrode spontaneously disappears from the body. The study was conducted on animals. Arrhythmia occurs when there are disturbances in the heart’s electrical signals, causing it to b

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In
