Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

What happened to the generation that experienced the Jasmin revolution in Tunisia as young? How are their views different from those who were only small children and do not remember the expectations of more freedom and bread?

Docent Jan-Inge Lind, med lång forskningserfarenhet inom sjukvårdens organisation och styrning, reflekterar i en intervju över dess utveckling och landar i att den traditionella producentinriktade styrningen har spelat ut sin roll.
