Ett internationellt forskningsprojekt som leds från Lunds universitet, tilldelas nu 33 miljoner av Europeiska Innovationsrådet, EIC Pathfinder. Tanken bakom projektet är att med hjälp av läkemedel, programmera om cancerceller till immunceller, för att på så sätt öka kroppens naturliga antitumörrespons och bekämpa cancer. Och det är småmolekyler som ska göra jobbet. Forskningsprojektet som har fått

Arbetslinjen har varit gynnsam för svensk tillväxt, men på längre sikt kan den visa sig skadlig. Färre barn föds och om det håller i sig riskerar landets ekonomi att minska. Det menar forskaren Åsa Hansson, som leder en utredning på uppdrag av regeringen om varför det föds färre barn i Sverige. Åsa Hansson, docent i nationalekonomi vid Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet, har precis lanserat si

Strax innan sommaren tog rektor beslut om universitetets gröna resplan. Den synliggör de frågor universitetet behöver jobba vidare med framöver för att lyfta arbetet med hållbar pendling till jobb och studier ytterligare. Universitetets arbete inom CoAction för att bidra till ett klimatneutralt Lund, liksom det tidigare projektet om hållbar mobilitet vid Lunds universitet, har nu mynnat ut i ett d

Vilket är det perfekta receptet på halvledare? Svaret arbetar Vanya Darakchieva på i sin forskning om nya halvledarmaterial. Hon är professor i fasta tillståndets fysik på LTH där hon som ”forskarkock” utformar framtidens kokbok för hållbar och säker elektronik. Att förstå och förklara naturens mysterier var Vanya Darakchievas dröm redan under barndomsåren i Bulgarien. Då var hon mest intresserad

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

A new study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for cancer in the lymphatic system, or lymphoma. Now, the researchers underline the need for more research on the topic. Our knowledge regarding the long-term health effects of tattoos is currently poor, and there is not a lot of research within this area. Now a research group at Lund University has investigate

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres
