Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. The childhood cancer, neuroblastoma

For the first time, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has successfully reprogrammed mouse and human skin cells into immune cells called dendritic cells. The process is quick and effective, representing a pioneering contribution for applying direct reprogramming for inducing immunity. Importantly, the finding opens up the possibility of developing novel dendritic cell-based immunotherapi

When war is over it is crucial to make the right infrastructure decisions to avoid future conflicts and social tensions. At MECW the research project “Infrastructure choices in post-conflict situations: Opportunities for sustainability and resilience?” looks into the rebuilding process in the Middle East and investigates how to make informed choices for energy, water, transport systems and agricul

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Natural solutions to combat climate change are perceived as beneficial to both nature and people simultaneously. But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to n

Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. In a recent study, researchers introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel method that establishes a new framework for controllable, flexible metal joining. Joi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Currently, it can take weeks and even months to produce results on how the future climate could affect agriculture. Now, researchers at Lund University are looking to change this and have produced simplified models, so-called emulators, to make it simpler – and above all, faster – to link vegetation, finance and clima

The UN's annual climate summit, COP28, is just around the corner. Starting on 30 November, the world's countries will meet for two weeks to discuss global climate cooperation and how to achieve the climate goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. This time the meeting will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We put five questions to Markku Rummukainen, Professor of Climatology at CEC and Sweden's re

Using micro-designed soil models, researchers at Lund University and members of BECC, have investigated how tiny particles of polystyrene affect bacteria and fungi. Although this nanoplastic reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to 'clean up' its environment and mitigate the impact of the plastic. - Plastic waste is a huge problem today.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied how nanoplastic affects aquatic organisms in lakes and rivers. The results are surprising and the researchers are the first to show that some species are being wiped out, while others – such as cyanobacteria that contribute to algal blooms – are completely unaffected. Every year, the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans increases by between
