A new study led by Lund University in Sweden has solved a years-old mystery: which patients with aggressive breast cancer are helped by a targeted cancer treatment that had been under development but was shelved. The study is important since it brings hope that the development of the drug can continue and that it will make it all the way to these patients. Despite the efforts of the North American

Half as many diagnosed with depression, a delayed manifestation of Parkinson’s, a reduced risk of developing vascular dementia - but not Alzheimer’s. These connections were discovered by researchers when they compared 200 000 people who had participated in a long-distance cross-country ski race between 1989 and 2010 with a matched cohort of the general population. The results of the population reg

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers.

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

Metformin beskrivs ofta som en trotjänare för behandling av typ 2-diabetes, men alla blir inte hjälpta av läkemedlet. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en kombination av biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer som får nytta av behandlingen. Nu fortsätter arbetet med att bekräfta resultaten i en större patientgrupp, med målet att utveckla ett test som kan användas av sjukvården. Läke

För att skapa en funktionell stadsmiljö för människa, miljö och biologisk mångfald behöver städer göra noggranna övervägningar. Att förtäta städer kan vara positivt för exempelvis minskad biltrafik och bättre service till fler människor. Samtidigt kan det ske på bekostnad av grönytor och människors hälsa. Johanna Alkan Olsson är lektor vid CEC och har under lång tid forskat på dessa dilemman. Idag
