The problems that can develop include unpleasant memories of nightmares and hallucinations. Previous favourite foods can suddenly taste awful. Many intensive care patients recover well on their own; however, some patients need ongoing care to feel well. Lund resear

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicious moles. Kari Nielsen (at the left).

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the
