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

What happens when PhD students, postdocs and research staff from four research centres come together for two days of science, career conversations and new connections? WCMM Fusion 2026 offered an opportunity to find out. On 21–22 September, researchers from WCMM Lund, Gothenburg, Linköping and Umeå gathered for the second WCMM National Team Meeting , a national forum created to connect researchers

It is not difficult to make the case for interdisciplinary research. Many researchers recognise that today’s and tomorrow’s research challenges require expertise from more than one discipline. Fewer know how to take the next step. How do you find people to work with? How do you develop ideas together? How do you secure funding for projects that do not fit neatly within a single academic field? The

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 A

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

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

Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. The childhood cancer, neuroblastoma

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

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough.

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.

Bly. PCB. Bekämpningsmedel och bromerade flamskyddsmedel. Samt plasttillsatser och tungmetaller. Det var vad forskare i Lund hittade när de samlade in döda igelkottar för att undersöka vilka miljöföroreningar som finns i urbana miljöer. Urbana gröna områden är attraktiva för många vilda arter, men innehåller också en rad ohållbara syntetiska material och kemikalier. Igelkottar vandrar långa sträck

Högst personligt: Christian Dam Nostalgi har blivit ett återkommande tema i samhället. Detta syns tydligt i konsumentkulturen, där varumärken och konsumenter använder det förflutna som en resurs för att skapa värde.

I en observationsstudie från Lunds universitet är resultaten tydliga: fram till två års ålder ser en mer fiberrik mat ut att minska risken för celiaki, glutenintolerans. Särskilt tydlig koppling sågs när barn hade ätit fiberrik mat före ett års ålder. – Det är första gången förekomsten av celiaki studeras utifrån fibrer i barns kost. Men nu behövs även klinisk prövning för att eventuellt kunna slå

I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.
