I en ny studie vid Lunds universitet har forskare upptäckt att ett gammalt tumörläkemedel kan användas för att motverka avstötning av transplanterad vävnad. Upptäckten var helt oväntad. Nu hyser forskarna stora förhoppningar om att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar av såväl transplantationspatienter som patienter med autoimmuna sjukdomar. Forskarna bakom studien, som nu publiceras i den v

Överraskande många undersköterskor inom den palliativa vården är positiva till eutanasi, alltså dödshjälp som sker genom att någon annan än patienten utför den avgörande handling som leder till patientens död. Däremot var få av läkarna inom den palliativa vården positivt inställda. Det visar en enkätstudie som genomförts av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Debatten om en legalisering av dödshjälp,

Antikroppar är kroppens superhjältar som känner igen och röjer undan sjukdomsframkallande ämnen. Genom att kombinera delar från antikroppar har forskare vid Lunds universitet designat en hybridantikropp som bättre stimulerar immunförsvaret mot både SARS-CoV-2-virus och streptokockbakterier. –  Hybridantikroppen är betydligt bättre än kroppens egna antikroppar på att bekämpa såväl streptokocker som

A new study may have uncovered why wall lizards have become the most successful reptile in the Mediterranean region. The results reveal how drastic changes in sea levels and climate 6 million years ago affected species formation in the area. The researchers believe they can now explain why the lizards became so diverse and widespread, something that has puzzled biologists since the 19th century. T
