Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

Research groups in close collaboration in Malmö have shed light on the pathway whereby a common genetic risk variant leads to impaired mitochondrial function of insulin cells. The variant in question impairs the capacity to secrete insulin and increases the risk of developing diabetes. The discovery is published in the highly ranked scientific journal Cell Metabolism. It is widely established that

An international study led by Lund University in Sweden has revealed that a small reward of $24 increased the vaccination rate by 4 percent - from 72 to 76 percent. The study involved 8,286 Swedes, and is published in the journal Science. Around the world, there have been numerous examples of incentives for those who have not yet vaccinated themselves against COVID-19. From supermarkets in the UK

Sweden and Denmark are among the countries in the world with the highest type-1 diabetes prevalence. Both countries have a long tradition of excellent research and treatment, and with the new joint diabetes project DiaUnion, supported by the EU's Interreg program, we are bridging research among the two countries to jointly put in an extra effort to fight the deadly disease. The DiaUnion project st

The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplinary group at the Pufendorf Institute has studied during the spring. The six singe

Data gathering for European climate research goes on around the clock at the University’s Hyltemossa research station. The tallest of its two masts reaches as high as 150 metres straight up into the sky. Every other week, the station’s staff must climb to the top of the mast to clean two sensors. Recently, intensive work has been conducted on the lower mast to install equipment to study how the em

A great deal of moral courage or a really desperate situation – these are the requirements for someone to disclose state secrets. And life will most certainly never be the same again. This is what emerges from the experiences of the Cold War’s first major defectors, Mr and Mrs Petrov, as from those of Edward Snowden, who will perhaps never be able to return to his homeland without risking severe p

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that a new examination method identifies high-risk plaques in the blood vessels surrounding the heart, that cannot be seen solely with traditional angiograms. This type of plaque, rich in fat, could potentially cause recurring heart attacks in patients with heart disease. The study is published in the The Lancet. ”We have been working on this s

Vid typ 2-diabetes kan kroppens celler inte tillgodogöra sig det livsnödvändiga hormonet insulin som produceras i betacellerna i bukspottkörteln. Exakt vad det är som felas betacellen vid typ 2-diabetes är frågan professor Erik Renström söker svaret på. Efter drygt tjugo års framgångsrik forskning på området tilldelas han nu Nordens främsta pris inom diabetesforskning för sin gärning. ”The Knud Lu

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his eventful career in research. The study that since 2006 has been the central hub of th

After screening 15 000 women over a period of five years, a major clinical study in Sweden has shown that 3D mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, detects over 30% more cancers compared to traditional mammography – with a majority of the detected tumours proving to be invasive cancers. The extensive screening study was conducted by Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Sweden, and the r
