Sexvärt krom är ett starkt cancerframkallande ämne som kan användas vid tillverkning av till exempel färg och rostskydd samt ytbehandling av metallprodukter. Det kan också frisättas vid tillverkning av eller svetsning i rostfritt stål. I Sverige exponeras ungefär 18 000 arbetare för sexvärt krom på sin arbetsplats. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu gjort en kartläggning av de risker som arbets

Hur kan inflammation hänga ihop med depression? Nya forskningsfynd visar att depression kan lindras när patienter med mild inflammation i kroppen äter omega-3. Den antidepressiva effekten var större hos de med låggradig inflammation än de som inte hade någon inflammation. – Vi såg en signifikant förbättring i måendet, säger Lundaforskaren Klara Suneson. Depression är en vanlig sjukdom som sannolik

Att cellerna i kroppen kan förflytta sig vet man – men exakt hur de bär sig åt för att göra det har inte tidigare varit känt. Nu har forskaren i infektionsmedicin Pontus Nordenfelt vid Lunds universitet lyckats beskriva och avbilda cellernas rörelser på molekylär nivå. Detta kan på sikt få betydelse för behandlingen av bland annat infektionssjukdomar, inflammation och cancer, där cellmigration har
