Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Resultatet av två stora amerikanska studier för nästan 30 år sedan var på många sätt banbrytande. De bevisade att intensiv blodsockerkontroll avsevärt minskade risken för komplikationer. Det var inte så förvånande men att effekten skulle kvarstå flera år var svårt att förklara. Det kunde handla om ett ”metabolt minn

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

I strokemodeller på möss, har forskare lyckats återställa förlorad hjärnfunktion med hjälp av små molekyler som i framtiden kan utvecklas till strokeläkemedel. ­– Efter stroke förändras kommunikationen mellan nervceller i stora delar av hjärnan och vi visar att den delvis återställs med behandlingen, säger Tadeusz Wieloch, seniorprofessor i neurobiologi vid Lunds universitet. –  Samtidigt återfår

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Högt blodsocker startar en komplex kedja av molekylära händelser vilka skadar blodkärlen och orsakar hjärt- kärlsjukdom. Nu kan forskare vid Lunds Universitets Diabetescenter visa varför och att den destruktiva kedjan kan brytas. Upptäckten är ett avgörande steg mot en effektiv behandling av de kärlskador som drabba

Fredrik Nilsson defended his Ph.D. thesis on May 10, 2023. For the last four years, he has explored the use of patient-specific cells in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease to identify strategies to safeguard these transplanted cells from disease-related degeneration. Now, he tells us about his findings, their potential implications for future therapies, and valuable insights and advi

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c

Offices in Swedish public agencies have much lower occupancy rates than before the pandemic, primarily due to two post-pandemic trends: increased teleworking and nation-wide recruitments. An estimated 100 000 office spaces are vacant, and many agencies are looking for alternative ways to use these spaces. At the same time, it’s increasingly common that public agencies recruit personnel living in l
