Blåscancer är den femte vanligaste cancerformen i västvärlden och i Sverige upptäcks cirka 2 500 nya fall per år. Till skillnad mot vad som gäller för många andra cancerformer, har behandlingen som erbjuds personer drabbade av blåscancer inte förändrats de senaste trettio åren. Detta är något som Fredrik Liedberg arbetar intensivt för att ändra på. Fredrik Liedberg har länge strävat efter att förb

Kollegial bedömning i stället för citeringar. Det ska bli grunden för fördelningen av en del av regeringens fakultetsanslag i framtiden, enligt ett förslag från Vetenskapsrådet. Förslaget är ännu inte spikat i detalj, och representanter för VR har nyligen hållit möten för att ta in åsikter från högskolevärlden. Regeringens fakultetsanslag står för ungefär 40 procent av de svenska lärosätenas forsk

En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus visar att det finns ett samband mellan höga nivåer av tarmhormonet GIP i blodet och ökad risk för hjärtkärlsjukdom. Att tarmhormonerna GIP och GLP-1 (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide och glucagon-like peptide) är viktiga för insulinproduktionen i bukspottskörteln är välkänt. Det är hormoner som bildas i tarma

Vår sol strålar ut ofattbara mängder energi. Det solljus som träffar jordklotet under en enda timme motsvarar i runda tal mänsklig­hetens totala energiförbrukning för ett helt år. Jakten på hur solstrålarnas energi kan fångas in har präglat kemi­professor Villy Sundströms långa forskarkarriär. Redan i början av 1980-talet kände Villy Sundström en fascination över fotosyntesen, naturens egen lösnin

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analysed. The study, which attracted a lot of attention, showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same researchers have examined the infectiousness of the bacteria. "The bacterium 'Klebsiella pneumoniae', which is resistant to all antibiotics, is also particularly aggress

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

From the Vice-chancellor blog: Free and creative thoughts that can be turned into words or other expressions are the basis of a democratic society. Free and creative thoughts are also the preconditions for renewal.

Many teachers would probably agree that it is an art to write good multiple choice questions. Multiple Choice Questions or MCQ are so-called closed questions, where the answering person gets to choose from a number of given answer options instead of formulating an answer themselves.

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra
