Never before so much data has been produced within life sciences. At the same time, computing power, artificial intelligence and other technology necessary to handle data have been greatly improved. The theme of this year’s WCMM Research Day held on April 12th in Lund, was artificial intelligence (AI) in medical research. A widely discussed topic that has opened up endless amounts of new opportuni

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o

In recent years, researchers have discovered around 70 genetic risk variants for diabetes, but still TCF7L2, known as the diabetes gene, is the gene that carries with it the largest risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Using a new method called exon skipping, Ola Hansson at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) wants to learn more about TCF7L2 by studying new ways of delaying the onset of type 2 d

“The increased risk of diabetes has previously been explained by the fact that cystic fibrosis causes damage to the pancreas, where the blood-sugar regulating hormone insulin is produced. We are the first research group to show that the mutated gene that causes cystic fibrosis also plays an important role in the release of insulin. The risk of diabetes is not only explained by the destruction of t

What works well and what doesn’t in your workplace? In 2024, we will have the chance to express views on issues related to the work environment by playing the OSA game. So far, the OSA game has helped us identify the need for support for managers and also the most common types of work environment problems in the organization. This has allowed us to prioritise areas where we need to focus our effor

The ongoing deforestation around the fringes of the Amazon may have serious consequences for the untouched deeper parts of the rainforest. A new research study shows that it is not only the climate that is adversely affected by deforestation. In fact, the very stability of the ecosystem in the entire Amazon region is altered when deforestation takes place in the outermost regions. It was previousl

For the first time, researchers are able to prove that there is an optimal speed for certain insects when they fly. At this speed, they are the most efficient and consume the least amount of energy. Corresponding phenomena have previously been demonstrated in birds, but never among insects. Previous studies of bumblebees have shown that they consume as much energy in forward flight as when they ho
