När Vetenskapsrådet för snart tre år sedan utlyste bidrag till så kallade excellenscenter beviljades totalt 15 nya satsningar runt om i Sverige. Endast ett av dem hamnade i Lund: "COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions".Nu har ett år gått sedan COMMONS invigdes med pompa och ståt ute vid kemiska institutionen. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Hur har centret tagit sig an uppd

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar. Säg att vi skulle stänga alla kolkraftverk idag – då kan vi om tio år ta red

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be

In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

There is a large carton of chicken eggs on the bench in Sofie Mohlin's laboratory. They have been delivered during the morning and soon they will be placed in the 37-degree heat of the incubator so that the embryo can develop. Already 42 hours after fertilization, researchers can begin their experiments to study how neuroblastoma develops. Sofie Mohlin is an Associate Professor in Molecular Physio

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca

De nya utgrävningarna i Uppåkra går i bräschen för tekniker inom arkeologin. Nu används inte bara glasskärvor och benknotor - idag är det jorden som är i fokus. Och kanske får vi svaret på om den justinianska pesten, alltså föregångaren till digerdöden, fanns i Uppåkra. Något som hittills varit okänt.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. 15 års forskning och utvecklingsarbete till en kostnad av 10-15 miljarder. Ungefär så stor är prislappen för ett nytt läkemedel innan det finns tillgängligt för försäljning. Det allt trängre nålsögat till ett godkännande gör att läkemedelsindustrin knappast chansar på osäkra kort. Men effektiva nya läkemedel som kom
