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

Genom att injicera en lösning av nanopartiklar runt hjärtat självmonteras en tillfällig hjärtstimulator, som med hjälp av extern spänningskälla kan korrigera hjärtarytmi vid akutlägen. Efter behandling försvinner elektroden spontant från kroppen. Studien är gjord på djur. Arytmi innebär att det uppstår störningar i hjärtats elektriska signaler och att det slår för snabbt, för långsamt eller oregel

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved. If all goes according to plan, the University Library interior will be both better and more beautiful when all is complete in time for the start of the autumn semester 2024. There

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work. It speaks to what is most important to the University right now and will help it to act much faster as the world changes. Pandemic, war in Europe, fake news, increased polarisation at home and abroad and,

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye
