Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

Selma Maric is a woman who is not afraid of departures and she has not followed the classic path into the research world. “I have never shied away from ending things if something else shows up. I only have one life and I have to do what is most interesting and exciting.” Her worldview may have been affected by her flight from former Yugoslavia, says the synchrotron and neutron researcher, who chan

One of the two recent Lund University jubilee stamps depicts the young diabetes researchers Anna Edlund and Jones Ofori. They are pleased to be featured on the stamps – but it was a complete surprise to them both. “Obviously we knew that our picture had been taken. A couple of years ago, there was a photographer here at CRC (Clinical Research Centre) who photographed the premises, labs and people.

15 per cent of the population – almost one in seven Swedes – suffer from digestive problems in the form of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea. But since these problems are not life-threatening, and the status of the digestive tract is low, medical researchers and funders have shown only moderate interest. Now this seems to be changing.

Insekters DNA går att fånga in och upptäcka via luften. Det visar forskning från Lunds universitet. Tekniken, som är ny på insektsområdet, kan få stor betydelse för att kartlägga biologisk mångfald framöver och väntas komplettera den traditionella metoden, att samla in insekter med fällor.

Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair har blivit ett vanligare sätt för barnfamiljer att få vardagen att gå ihop och se till att jämställdheten mellan föräldrarna ökar. Införandet av statliga subventioner har bäddat för en ny marknad som tycks leda till att det jämställda föräldraskapet alltmer blir en klassfråga. Nanny, au-pair eller barnflicka.

I jämförelse med en tidigare genomförd undersökning 2010 pekar resultaten på en oroväckande trend; färre får utbildning, en allt större andel känner inte till sitt långtidsblodsocker samtidigt som andelen som inte ta

Runt 80 procent av dem som har Downs syndrom utvecklar Alzheimers sjukdom, ofta redan 40-50-årsåldern. Nu visar en svensk-amerikansk studie, ledd från Lunds universitet, att ett enkelt blodprov med stor säkerhet kan upptäcka Alzheimers sjukdom hos personer med Downs syndrom. Fynden är viktiga av flera skäl, inte minst möjligheten att ställa korrekt diagnos utan komplicerade ingrepp. Studien är nyl
