Poliser som ställs inför en akut livsfarlig situation, exempelvis vid ett ingripande mot knivattack, utsätts för ett sådant kraftigt stresspådrag att flera viktiga neurologiska funktioner som perception och minne, kognition och beslutsfattande påverkas. Men även viktiga motoriska funktioner och färdigheter som behöv

Antikroppar är kroppens superhjältar som känner igen och röjer undan sjukdomsframkallande ämnen. Genom att kombinera delar från antikroppar har forskare vid Lunds universitet designat en hybridantikropp som bättre stimulerar immunförsvaret mot både SARS-CoV-2-virus och streptokockbakterier. –  Hybridantikroppen är betydligt bättre än kroppens egna antikroppar på att bekämpa såväl streptokocker som

Det är vanligt att utveckla komplikationer i hjärta och kärl vid diabetes och en orsak till det är att kroppens förmåga att reparera och bilda kärl är nedsatt. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en ny substans som visat sig stimulera kärlcellers reparationsförmåga och tillväxt. Vid diabetes får kroppen försämrad förmåga att reparera de kärlskador som sjukdomen orsakar, vilket kan leda ti

Blodkärl som annars skulle slängas har i stället använts till forskning av hur celler i kärlväggen lagrar in fett. Ett nära samarbete mellan kärlfysiologer och thoraxkirurger i Lund gör att forskarna på ett mer naturtroget sätt kan se hur fettupptaget i cellerna kan minskas med farmakologisk behandling. Åderförfettning – ateroskleros – är det enskilda medicinska tillstånd som ligger bakom flest dö

Filipe Pereira och hans forskarteam har utvecklat ett recept på hur cancerceller kan omprogrammeras till immunsystemets vaktposter, dendritceller. Dessa behövs för att kickstarta och förbättra kroppens förmåga att bekämpa cancer. Metoden är en lovande strategi för cancerbehandling och projektet som nu tilldelas anslag har som mål att konstruera själva ”fordonet” som ska leverera instruktionen som

En viktig målsättning med precisionsmedicin är att minska risken för fel och att göra rekommendationer inom hälso- och sjukvården mer träffsäkra, men för att nå hela vägen krävs bättre evidens. Ett internationellt konsortium lett av Paul Franks vid Lunds universitet presenterar nya riktlinjer som kan bidra till att öka den kliniska relevansen av forskning inom precisionsmedicin.

Ett blodprov som tidigare visat sig ge lika bra resultat som ryggvätskeprov för att identifiera Alzheimers sjukdom har nu testats i den vanliga sjukvården. – Träffsäkerheten var omkring 90 procent även inom primärvården. Det här kan få stor betydelse för alla de som söker till vården med minnespåverkan och misstänkt alzheimer, säger forskarna bakom studien. Var femte kvinna och var tionde man utve

Reptiles living in open habitats generally have brighter colouration than species living in denser vegetation. This is shown in a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The results suggest that changes in habitat and climate over millions of years have prompted animals to adapt their colouration in order to survive. It has been long established that environmental factors affect how animals’ col

A simpler method of analysing blood samples for Alzheimer’s disease has been tested in a large multicentre study, led by Lund University in Sweden. “This is a major step in bringing simple blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease into the healthcare system globally,” say the researchers behind the study. In brief:The blood-based marker (P-tau217) may start to change several years before the onset of Al

About 540 million years ago, our planet suddenly erupted with life, filling our oceans with a diversity of complex life. This is known as the Cambrian explosion, and for a long time scientists agreed it was triggered by a rise in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. But new research from Emma Hammarlund at Lund University is turning the tables completely on what scientists thought they knew to be true

Ten years’ work has paid off – UNESCO has added the unique archive of 500 in-depth interviews with Holocaust survivors to the Memory of the World Register. This means the Ravensbrück Archive is recognised as an example of cultural heritage of great value to humanity. Following the end of the war in spring 1945, Folke Bernadotte's White Buses rolled out of a bombed-out Germany. A total of 20,000 pe

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

What if we could fight climate change using bacteria that live on air? That’s the vision behind a newly funded international research project led by scientists from Lund University, the University of Tromsø, and Harvard Medical School. With support from the prestigious Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP), the team aims to explore how an Arctic microbe that can feed exclusively on methane could b

A consortium helmed by Lund University in Sweden has been awarded a major EU grant to establish an international doctoral programme on the theme of society and law in authoritarian states in Central Asia. The aim is to promote democratisation and positive social development. The programme will involve 17 doctoral students from the consortium’s 14 universities in Europe and Canada. The doctoral stu

Humans and animals are not the only ones affected by viruses. Unicellular organisms can also be attacked. In a new study, scientists establish that green algae can carry latent giant virus DNA in their genome. Biology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have spent several years studying microorganisms isolated from Lake Krageholm in Skåne and Lake Örsjön in Småland. During the most recent ele

Me time, couple time and more free time in everyday life. Many people wish they had more time – but is there a sustainable approach to time? Historian David Larsson Heidenblad is looking for the answer. In many Swedish homes there is a well-thumbed copy of Bodil Jönsson’s book Ten Thoughts about Time, a book that sold over 600,000 copies 20 years ago. In the book, the author discussed clock time,

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman’s genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are inv

Who are the people that make up the world’s economic elite – and do they differ between countries? In a new, unique database, an international team of researchers has compiled individual data from 16 countries that together account for a third of the world’s population and more than half of the world’s GDP. The economic elite examined in this particular scenario includes CEOs and board members of
