Vad äter tumlare i svenska vatten? I en ny studie tar forskare från Lunds universitet hjälp av dna-teknik för att kartlägga den lilla valens mångfacetterade matvanor. Torskfiskar, sillfiskar och smörbultar toppar tumlarens meny, men den trubbnosiga tandvalen verkar inte särskilt kräsen. En ny studie visar att tumlare i svenska vatten äter uppemot 40 olika bytesarter – från centimeterstora bottenfi

Barn till mammor som har diabetes löper större risk att födas med missbildningar. Strikt blodsockerkontroll under hela graviditeten minskar risken men nu visar holländska forskare överraskande att det enbart är pojkfoster som drabbas. Holländska forskare från universiteten i Amsterdam och Utrecht har gjort en oväntad iakttagelse när de följt 314 graviditeter hos kvinnor med typ 1 diabetes – det är

Vi har tusen miljarder bakterier i mag-tarmkanalen. Nästan alla är nyttiga och utan dem skulle vi inte överleva. Bakterierna deltar i spjälkning av maten och utvinner vitaminer ur den. Forskarna har alltmer börjat intresse för bakteriernas andra effekter. Ett exempel är om de har betydelse för den dramatiska ökningen av fetma och typ 2 diabetes. En av dem som menar det kanske är så är den danske p

Risken för ytterligare spridning av signalkräfta och nya utbrott av kräftpest i svenska flodkräftvatten är fortsatt mycket hög. Det visar en ny rapport från Lunds universitet och Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU). Signalkräfta introducerades till Sverige på 1960-talet, för att ersätta förluster av den inhemska flodkräftan. Eftersom signalkräftan senare visade sig vara bärare av kräftpest, oftast

Article in The Conversation by Paul Franks, professor of genetic epidemiology and Peter M Nilsson, professor of internal medicine - epidemiology at Lund University. A growing number of Swedish doctors and scientists are raising alarm over the Swedish government’s approach to COVID-19.

Using harmless viruses to insert genes that produce healthy, healing substances into the brain... transplanting cells, possibly from the patient’s own skin... or, most sci-fi of all, controlling special treated nerve cells with light signals in the brain. These are three different paths to a possible treatment for epilepsy that are being tested by a research group in Lund. To help them, the resear

When everyday life is not recognisable, when conversation is silenced, when memories disappear. Alzheimer’s disease is contracted by 60 000 people in Sweden annually and accounts for 60 per cent of all types of dementia disease. There is no cure, but research has come a long way in diagnosing the disease at an early stage. “Over the past ten years there has been a revolution concerning our possibi

A considerable reduction in the availability of electricity is expected this winter. If the electricity available is less than the demand for electricity, this results in what is known as a power shortfall. This could lead to short power cuts at the University. There is now a Vice-Chancellor’s decision that clarifies duties and responsibilities within the University in the event of a power shortfa

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options.

It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive – most can be neutralised with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to spread. The interior of a cancer tumour is a hostile environment with oxygen defici
