Strax efter födseln har immunförsvaret bildat den mängd av de antikroppsproducerande immunceller, B1, som ska vara livet ut. Därefter bildas inga fler B1-celler. Men cellerna är självreaktiva – de producerar inte bara antikroppar mot främmande ämnen, utan även mot kroppsegna ämnen, och det är oklart varför immunförs

Äter du mycket kyckling, pasta, ost, dressing och oljor? Eller hör du till gruppen som konsumerar mycket yoghurt med flingor men avhåller dig från kaffe och kött? Forskare vid Lunds universitet har studerat hur olika grupper av människor äter efter olika matmönster. Vissa konsumtionsmönster är mer hälsosamma än andra. Resultatet verkar kanske inte så sensationellt eftersom det framkom att det vi v

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The relocation of the specialised centres to the faculties which is currently underway within LU has generated concern and discussion. “But once you know where you are moving, a calmer and more constructive phase begins”, says Bo Ahrén, chair of the University’s specialised centres. But Merle Jacob, professor of resea

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Statins are a cholesterol-lowering drug that almost one million Swedes take to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. But could perhaps statins also be used against breast cancer? Cancer researcher Signe Borgquist at least hopes so. Signe Borgquist and her colleagues found that statins had a tumour-inhibiting ef

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

Efter att ha plöjt nästan 800 fallstudier har forskare identifierat de tolv bästa sätten att minska biltrafiken i städerna. Resultatet visar att en kombination av morot- och piskaåtgärder utgör ett vinnande recept, samtidigt som en ”vinnare” stickar ut: trängselavgifterna. Sådana kan minska biltrafiken i stadskärnan med upp till en tredjedel. Utsläpp från transporter är en betydande orsak till de
