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

Using new technology it is possible to get a detailed colour image of all retinal layers without inserting any instrument into the eye. The technology will be used by eye researcher Elisabeth Wittström, who studies diseases of the macula. Her colleague, Linnéa Taylor, is researching the link between inflammation and damage to the retina, which could lead to new treatments. Photo of the eyeground o

Perennial crops have the potential to reduce the need for ploughing and pesticides, which in turn can lead to reduced soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, a unique research infrastructure that has the potential to transform agriculture was inaugurated by the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science and LUCSUS, in collaboration with SLU Alnarp. The new facility, fu

Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med

Redan i 20-årsåldern uppträder förändringar i muskelcellernas kraftverk som minskar kapaciteten att producera energi och utsöndrar höga halter skadliga fria syreradikaler. Förändringarna kan innebära försämrade förmåga att kontrollorera blodsockret. Fynden har gjorts när forskarna jämförde unga typ 1 diabetiker med jämnåriga icke-diabetiker.

Våra hjärnor har inte bara inlärningsmekanismer utan också glömskemekanismer som suddar ut ”onödig” inlärning. En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har nu kunnat beskriva en av dessa mekanismer på cellnivå. Gruppens resultat, som publicerats i den internationella tidskriften PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), förklarar ett inlärningsteoretiskt fenomen som hittills varit svårb

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who
