Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In recent years, cell and gene therapies have shown promising results in eve

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers.  “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the re

Ethnologist Susanne Lundin’s research is ultimately about life and death and how people relate to the inevitable. What are people willing to do to delay the end briefly? Is there a limit beyond which someone ceases to be human? Susanne Lundin is a professor at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences and has conducted interdisciplinary research with medics for 30 years. Today, she is a sought-

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method that relates healthcare needs to the changing value of time for patients at the end of life. The less time they have left to live, the more precious time feels. Every year,

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Många patienter med akut bröstsmärta blir inlagda på vårdavdelning – trots att bara en bråkdel av dem behöver akut, högspecialiserad hjärtsjukvård. Forskaren och akutläkaren Tsvetelina Nilsson har i sitt avhandlingsarbete undersökt hur dessa patienter – på ett säkert sätt – snabbare kan bedömas. I snitt kan nästan hälften av de som söker för akut bröstsmärta tryggt skickas hem – redan efter någon
