Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell? In order to take high resolution microscopic images of living biological material, you need to know exactly where to point the microscope. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a software solution for smart, data-driven microscopy, which mak

Researchers at Lund University Faculty of Medicine have determined a novel mechanism linking the metabolism of ribonucleic acids, RNA, to the development of leukemia in myelodysplastic syndrome patients, MDS. In a study published in the Molecular Cell journal, they explain what makes hematopoietic stem cells acquire malignant traits in cancer. RNA splicing is a major nexus of gene expression regul

Three researchers at Lund University in Sweden, all with a long list of significant research credentials, have been awarded the ERC Advanced Grant worth EUR 2.5 million each to further develop and advance their research projects. One of these researchers is neuroscientist Oskar Hansson, who will use blood tests for rapid screening of drugs in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The European Rese

Swedish obstetricians and gynecologists are noticeably more emotionally stable and conscientious compared to the majority of the Swedish population. Based on the doctors' personalities, their decision-making styles differ in emergency situations. The research study from Lund University is now published in Scientific Reports. Personality is usually summarized in five traits - the so-called "big fiv

A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin

Almost 14 million viewers have watched Anils Seth’s TED Talk “Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality”. In the beginning of May, he visits Lund University and Neuroscience Day to give this year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture. We meet on zoom for a conversation about AI, the mystery of consciousness and – of course – to find out what he knew about Sweden. … how would you explain consciousne

Several Nobel laureates, renowned scientists, and successful biotech entrepreneurs are coming to Lund in May to participate in the Lund Spring Symposium, an international symposium on drug research. Medications are the physician's primary tool when treating their patients, and understanding how drugs work is fundamental to being a good doctor, according to Lars Grundemar, adjunct professor of clin

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision. But first, they need to find a common language that all professional groups understand. – It's a challen

Ungefär 90 procent av medicinerna på marknaden fungerar som tänkt bara på cirka 40 procent av de patienter för vilka de är avsedda.

Därför är det bra med ett brett utbud av kostråd. På kort sikt, sex månader, ger råd om lågkolhydratkost bättre effekt än lågfettkost. Långsiktigt märks inga skillnader mellan olika kostråd. Vi vet inte heller hur de olika kostråden

Fettcellerna spelar en viktig roll i att kontrollera energibalansen i kroppen främst genom att hålla en jämvikt mellan fettupptag och fettfrisättning, något som vid viktuppgång lätt kan bli obalanserat.

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o
