Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt? Ekonomihistorikern Astrid Kander från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet förespråkar att de nuvarande måtten kompletteras med egenutvecklade ”teknikjusterade klimatfotavtrycket” som även mäter ex

Precision medicine aims to deliver the right treatment to the right person at the right time. What does this mean for people with type 2 diabetes? Some of the research at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) focuses on the progression of type 2 diabetes to help develop more targeted treatments. Epigenetics can become a useful tool when diabetes care is tailored to the individual. People with typ

Sen avnavling ser ut att gynna den motoriska utvecklingen för barn som behövt andningshjälp vid födseln. Det visar preliminära resultat från en omfattande studie vid Lund universitet och ger ytterligare stöd åt tidigare forskning som visat på fördelarna med att inte ha för bråttom med saxen. Den som googlar ”sent klippt navelsträng” eller ”sen avnavling”, får många träffar där Ola Andersson nämns.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

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

Regeringens satsning på profilområden kritiseras. LUM har frågat samtliga dekaner vad de anser om satsningen. Många menar att den fria forskningen hotas. Det finns också oro för att annan forskning ska drabbas ekonomiskt. Farhågor finns även för att mycket arbete nu läggs på något som kanske aldrig blir verklighet.

Högt blodtryck skadar våra blodkärl. Det skadar också vårt hjärta, vår hjärna och våra njurar. Ett högt blodtryck ökar också risken att drabbas av hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Exakt varför högt blodtryck är farligt vet man dock inte. – Skälet till det är att vi länge haft effektiva blodtryckssänkande mediciner, och då har det inte betraktats som angeläget att ta reda på hur skadorna på blodkärlen upps
