A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

It is a tradition for the Tourism and Hotel specialisation of the Bachelors programme in Service Management to go to Helsingborgs's twin city Pärnu in Estonia every year. This year's trip stood out partly because for the first time also master students with the specialisation in tourism came along, but also because an extra stop on the trip was introduced - a city walk in Helsinki. It was a mixed

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem. By implanting electrodes in the brain tissue one can stimulate or capture signals from d
