Positiva tidiga säkerhetsresultat har uppnåtts efter de fyra första patienterna som genomgått transplantation av dopaminproducerande stamceller inom den kliniska studien STEM-PD. Gemensam forskningsnyhet från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhusSTEM-PD-studien undersöker för första gången i människa en ny terapi mot Parkinsons sjukdom. Målet är att ersätta dopaminceller som gått förlor
Sektionen Kommunikation stöps om. Syftet med det nya uppdraget är att kunna erbjuda verksamheten ett samordnat kommunikationsstöd. Bland annat ska internkommunikationen bli mer systematisk, den digitala infrastrukturen få ökade resurser och fokus riktas mot pressfrågor och internationellt genomslag. I samband med omstöpningen läggs LUM ner efter beslut från universitetsledningen. Enligt kommunika

En nyligen påbörjad klinisk studie undersöker nu om det går att förbättra prognosen för personer som drabbas av septisk chock genom att minska på mängden vätska som patienterna får. – Ända sedan 1800-talet har vården gett vätskebehandling intravenöst till svårt sjuka. Detta till trots saknas evidens för hur vi bäst ska styra denna behandling för att för att utfallet ska bli så bra som möjligt för

Blodpropp i ben eller lunga är en av våra vanligaste kärlsjukdomar och beror till 50 procent på ärftliga orsaker. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet utgått från registerstudier och undersökt familjer med sjukdomen hereditärt angioödem, HAE. De fann en ny ärftlig mekanism som ökar risken för blodproppar i ben och lungor hos individer med HAE. Studien, som publiceras i tidskriften Blood, v

Blodkärl som annars skulle slängas har i stället använts till forskning av hur celler i kärlväggen lagrar in fett. Ett nära samarbete mellan kärlfysiologer och thoraxkirurger i Lund gör att forskarna på ett mer naturtroget sätt kan se hur fettupptaget i cellerna kan minskas med farmakologisk behandling. Åderförfettning – ateroskleros – är det enskilda medicinska tillstånd som ligger bakom flest dö

Kristyan Nicholson When entering Kristyan Nicholson´s MFA exhibition TOMORROW HAS NEVER BEEN AS CLOSE AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, I was struck by how quiet the works were.

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

Obesity is a common cause of diabetes, heart disease and early death, but risk differs greatly from one person to the next. In work led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative project SOPHIA, a pioneering clinical risk prediction algorithm has been developed that splits obesity into 5 separate diagnostic profiles each with contrasting health conseq
New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"?
