Akut lymfatisk leukemi hos spädbarn är en ovanlig men aggressiv leukemiform. Återfallsrisken är hög och endast runt 30 procent av barnen överlever. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att de genetiska förändringarna bakom ett återfall är olika, beroende på om återfallet sker innan eller efter nio månader. Akut lymfatisk leukemi (ALL) hos spädbarn är en ovanlig leukemiform som drabbar ci

Following the arrival of the first farmers in Scandinavia 5,900 years ago, the hunter-gatherer population was wiped out within a few generations, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others. The results, which are contrary to prevailing opinion, are based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark. The extensive study has been published as four se

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal. However, a new study that pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years, suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversal may not be in the cards after all. The study is pub

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt samband mellan exponering för PFAS och utveckling av astma. Resultaten visar att bland de barn vars mammor hade mycket hög PFAS-exponering under graviditeten var risken för astma betydligt högre än hos barn vars mammor hade lägre PFAS-exponering. PFAS (per- och polyfluoralkylsubstanser) är en stor grupp av syntetiska ämnen som kan förekomma i många prod
