Alla barn i Europa med sjukdomen akut myeloisk leukemi ska få tillgång till likvärdig behandling. Det är målet med det EU-finansierade forskningsprojektet Chip-AML22. Projektet samlar 14 länder i en behandlingsstudie som bland annat kommer att undersöka hur barnen svarar på viss typ av behandling. Kees-Jan Pronk samordnar projektet tillsammans med Elise Witthoff, båda vid Skånes universitetssjukhu

Vissa graviditetskomplikationer ger ökad risk för senare hjärtsjukdom. Mycket är dock fortfarande okänt kring hur åderförkalkning utvecklas mellan graviditeten och hjärtsjukdom senare i livet. En ny stor studie som letts av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att förträngningar och åderförkalkning är vanligare bland de drabbade kvinnorna även om de bedömts ha låg risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdom utifrå

Idag finns teknologi som med extremt hög upplösning gör det möjligt för forskarna att kartlägga strukturen på cellernas minsta beståndsdelar, som kroppens proteiner. Genom att förstå hur de ser ut och interagerar med sin omgivning, lär sig forskarna mer om hur våra celler fungerar. Både när vi är friska, och när vi är sjuka. Kunskap som kan leda till mer effektiva läkemedelsbehandlingar, designade

Tove Fall blev ett känt ansikte för många svenskar under coronapandemin när hon berättade om sjukdomens spridning och utveckling i Sverige. Hon är även en framstående diabetesforskare som använder sig av stora datamängder för att få en bättre förståelse för hur diabetes utvecklas. Nu tilldelas hon Leif C. Groop-priset för sin diabetesforskning. Prismotivering: ”Tove Fall vid Uppsala universitet ti

Under fosterstadiet pågår flera olika så kallade cellprogram som är viktiga för fosterutvecklingen. I en studie som publiceras i Cell Reports visar forskare vid Lunds universitet på studier i möss att ett av dessa program verkar skydda mot cancerformen akut myeloisk leukemi, AML. – Vi har använt en experimentell musmodell som alltid leder till denna typ av leukemi. Det intressanta är att när vi ti

Gränserna mellan biologi och teknologi suddas ut. Forskare vid Linköpings, Lunds och Göteborgs universitet har lyckats odla elektroder i levande vävnad med kroppens egna molekyler som utlösare. Resultatet, som publicerats i tidskriften Science, banar väg för tillverkning av helt integrerade elektroniska kretsar i levande organismer. – I flera decennier har vi försökt skapa elektronik som härmar bi

While many negotiators think the ongoing United Nations’ climate conference COP26 in Glasgow should already be considered successful due to global decisions having been made, Greta Thunberg and other climate activists argue that the summit is primarily a PR event which has excluded many groups from the negotiations.

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin can suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now revolutionised the way this data is analysed – by using 3D video gaming technology. The study is published in the journal iScience. Advanced techniques in DNA and RNA sequencing hav

Many developing countries are making progress, whereas others are stalling or falling behind. In the latter cases, transformation capacity needs to be reinforced to enable the countries to meet present and future societal challenges. In view of this, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) has now signed a four-year agreement with Lund University in Sweden regarding commiss

Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in producing two molecules that are otherwise only formed by microorganisms from extremely contaminated wastewater in an abandoned mine in South Korea. The method, which took four years to develop, could pave the way for new types of drugs. The study is published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. Glionitrin A and B are two molec

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Once again, we are now seeing an increase in the spread of infection, in particular in Europe; this week, the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced new recommendations to avoid crowding, among other things. We are still offering on-campus education but everyone is to avoid crowding and large gatherings. We are carefully monitoring the situation and trying to keep the organisation updated on any

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers present a new c
