Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ett minskat antal utbildningsplatser är ett stort problem för hela högskolesektorn. Enigheten är stor bland landets lärosäten om att det är fel att dra i bromsen nu, samtidigt som söktrycket är mycket stort och arbetslösheten ökar, särskilt bland unga.

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Andreas Edsfeldt, docent i experimentell kardiologi vid Lunds universitet, får Bundy Academys stora pris 2025. Prissumman är tre miljoner kronor, och forskningen som prisas handlar om hur hjärt-kärlkomplikationer i samband med typ 2-diabetes kan förebyggas – i förlängningen både med läkemedel och förbättrad bilddiagnostik. År 2016 fick Andreas Edsfeldt Bundy Academys lilla pris, även då för att st

Every person ages, yet only some develop Parkinson’s Disease, and scientists still don’t know why. A new international effort involving a research team from Lund University aims to uncover what makes certain aging brains more vulnerable than others, focusing on the epigenetic changes that accompany growing older. Their work is supported by a new 81 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Acros

Many campaigns encourage people to think and talk about the social and environmental consequences of what they buy and sell. A new study by Iker Arregui Alegria, Gunes Gokmen, and Roel van Veldhuizen examines whether this kind of awareness can change behavior in markets, leading firms to offer less harmful products and consumers to choose them. The study finds that this only happens when both side

The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased.
