Kan nya sätt att leverera cytostatika mer precist till tumören minska risken för biverkningar? Det studerar en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet och de utgår från tumörsjukdomen osteosarkom. I två vetenskapliga artiklar beskriver man ett sätt att med hjälp av cytostatikaladdade mikro- och nanopartiklar leverera läkemedel in i cancerceller, frisätta cytostatikan och därigenom orsaka celldöd hos tu

Den vanligaste använda metoden att testa för covid-19 är med RT-PCR genom ett nässvalgsprov taget med bomullspinne. Provtagning från nässvalget är ofta obehaglig och RT-PCR-test kräver även analys i laboratorium. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet har forskare undersökt om snabbantigentest för covid-19 kan användas på saliv i stället för att pinna nässvalget. Resultaten är publicerade i Infecti
