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

Ben- och skelettskador orsakar omfattande och långvariga funktionsnedsättningar globalt. I en ny studie visar forskare vid Lunds universitet hur en cellfri broskstruktur kan styra benläkning på ett säkert sätt, utan att framkalla starka immunsvar. Transplantatet är framgångsrikt testat i djurmodeller och nästa steg är att utvärdera vävnadstekniken i människa. När stora delar av benvävnad gått förl

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

Forskare har för första gången identifierat en tidigare okänd försvarsmekanism i aggressiva hjärntumörer: en sockerrik sköld som omger tumörceller och som skyddar dem mot en särskilt destruktiv form av celldöd. Aggressiva hjärntumörer växer i en extrem miljö som präglas av syrebrist, näringsbrist, lågt pH och kronisk cellstress. Inuti tumören råder förhållanden som normalt skulle skada eller döda

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort den hittills mest detaljerade kartläggningen av epigenomet i de celler som styr kroppens blodsocker. Studien, som publiceras i Nature Metabolism, visar hur kemiska förändringar på DNA påverkar både insulinproducerande betaceller och glukagonproducerande alfaceller – och hur dessa mönster förändras vid typ 2-diabetes. Alla celler i kroppen har samma uppsättn

Autumn is underway, and Dean Per Persson highlights some of the key issues currently in focus for the faculty. Among other things, he writes about the research bill, the strong interest in visiting professorships, the work on gender equality and equal opportunities, and why it is important to keep the tradition of honorary doctors alive. The autumn term has begun, and in addition to everything tha

In the Dean’s latest “Dean’s Corner”, topics such as internationalisation, international impact and global positioning are highlighted. But what do these concepts actually mean in practice, and why are they important for us at the Faculty of Science?To gain a deeper understanding of these questions, we spoke with Pro Vice-Chancellor for Strategy and Global Affairs, Kristina Eneroth, who for severa

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. The
