Ett nytt behandlingsalternativ för patienter med den komplexa tumörsjukdomen mantelcellslymfom, ger längre tid till återfall och färre biverkningar. Det visar en ny forskningsstudie från Lunds och Uppsala universitet. Resultaten är så lovande att det nya behandlingsalternativet redan implementerats i de nyligen publicerade riktlinjerna från European Society for Medical Oncology. Mantelcellslymfom

Vetenskapsrådets indragna anslag till utvecklingsforskning har drabbat forskare vid Lunds universitet hårt. – Det här har vi sett i andra länder där ytterhögerpartier har haft stort inflytande, säger Anders ­Uhlin, professor i statsvetenskap och en av de forskare som hade lämnat in en ansökan om anslag. Sydostasien har länge varit Anders Uhlins område. I december förra året befann han sig i Indone

För att kunna programmera om lättillgängliga celler till specifika immunceller som bekämpar olika sjukdomar, måste man känna till “receptet” för omvandlingen. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet skapat ett bibliotek av de 400 faktorer som behövs för omprogrammering och påbörjat arbetet med att hitta rätt kombination – recept – för varje typ av immuncell. Vårt immunförsvar består av skilda typer

Nästan hälften av alla demensfall kan bero på riskfaktorer som vi själva kan påverka, till exempel rökning och högt blodtryck. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar vilka riskfaktorer som är förknippade med två av våra vanligaste demenssjukdomar - Alzheimers sjukdom och vaskulär demens. Under livet påverkas risken att utveckla demens av aspekter som vi inte kan förändra – såsom ålder, kön och

I en nyligen publicerad översiktsartikel från Lunds universitet, har forskare analyserat förekomsten av kejsarsnitt i olika europeiska länder. Resultaten visar att privata sjukhus i flera länder har en högre andel kejsarsnitt än offentliga sjukhus, även bland kvinnor i lågriskgrupper. Kejsarsnittsfrekvensen varierade från cirka 17 procent i norra Europa till över 50 procent i södra Europa. Kejsars

Fallen av bröstcancer mellan två screeningundersökningar blev färre, och av de cancrar som hann utvecklas var färre allvarliga och aggressiva. Nu är slutresultaten från Lunds universitets forskningsstudie MASAI klara, och de visar på ytterligare nytta med AI-stödd bröstcancerscreening. Studien har redan tidigare visat att AI-stöd bidrar till 29 procent fler hittade fall av bröstcancer jämfört med

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det finns inget samband mellan tidpunkten för introduktion av gluten i kosten och utveckling av glutenintolerans. Det visar en ny, internationell studie från Lunds universitet. En ny forskningsstudie där över 6 400 barn ingår visar att tidpunkten för introduktion av gluten i kosten inte var en egen, självständig ris

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

We are so proud of our colleagues Håkan Håkansson and Tomasz Lesniak. Their work to make the Ravensbrück archive's testimonies from the Holocaust freely available to everyone led UNESCO to recognise the archive as a world memory last year. Now they are receiving an award from the university for their solid work. The Ravensbrück Archive is a collection of 500 in-depth interviews with survivors of N

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University have developed a stem cell-based therapy that rejuvenates the aging blood and immune systems in mice without harsh treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The findings recently published in the journal Nature Communications is a step toward safer, non-toxic treatments for age-related blood disorders and immune decline. As we age, the s

Why do some pregnancies succeed while others do not? With support from a newly awarded ERC Starting Grant, Assistant Professor Camila Consiglio and her team at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center are embarking on a project to explore the role the immune system plays in fertility, and in determining reproductive success.

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the F
