A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is developing methods to enable cars and drones to see their surroundings. This is his insight into the self-driving present and future. Cameras, satnav, laser, radar and sensors. To earn the prefix ‘self-driving’, or ‘autonomous’, vehicles need a range of technologies capable of both

When researchers at Lund University in Sweden performed advanced analyses of sputum from the airways of severely ill Covid-19 patients, they found high levels of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). It is already a known fact that NETs can contribute to sputum thickness, severe sepsis-like inflammation and thrombosis. After being treated with an already existing drug, the NETs were dissolved and

Sverige och Danmark är bland de länder i världen med högst förekomst av typ 1-diabetes i relation till invånarantal. Här finns också en lång tradition av forskning om sjukdomen. DiaUnion är ett samarbete mellan forskare och life science-företag i Öresundsregionen och projektet finansieras av bland annat EU. I DiaUnion går länderna samman i kampen mot typ 1-diabetes och relaterade autoimmuna sjukdo

Under pandemins zoom-möten har vi sett många variationer i hur mötesdeltagarna riggar sin hemmastudio. Men hur gör politiska ledare och toppdiplomater för att visa sin status? Elsa Hedling, som forskar om diplomatins digitalisering, har gjort en studie över hur internationella makthavare arbetar med sin framtoning på skärmen. När världens ledare träffas finns i vanliga fall ett strängt protokoll d

Förutom minnessvårigheter och andra kognitiva symptom lider de flesta som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom också av psykiska besvär. Länge har det varit oklart om dessa uppstår på grund av vävnadsförändringarna i hjärnan, eller om de utgör psykologiska reaktioner till följd av de kognitiva symptomen. En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime

New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi
