I slutet av oktober 2022 gav Läkemedelsverket klartecken för klinisk prövning av den stamcellsbaserad terapin STEM-PD, för behandling av Parkinsons sjukdom. Bakom ligger flera års utveckling av de celler som genererats från embryonala stamceller och som nu ska transplanteras till patienter med Parkinsons för att ersätta de nervceller som förlorats under sjukdomen. I den kliniska studien, som nu li

Idag saknas effektiv läkemedelsbehandling mot svår kronisk andnöd. Ibland behandlar vården med opioidpreparat såsom morfin för att lindra symtomen, men evidensen har varit bristande för om detta hjälper. I en randomiserad fas 3-studie som forskare vid Lunds universitet och ett forskningsnätverk i Australien genomfört, såg man att morfin inte minskade andnöden hos patienterna. Studien publiceras i

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

As part of innovative research on perennial crops, a unique research infrastructure has been developed outside Lund. The infrastructure will measure the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and agriculture in real time in two parallel cultivation systems: the newly domesticated Kernza (Intermediate wheatgrass) and conventional crop rotation in Skåne (including wheat, sugar beet, bar

Great tits living in cities are genetically different from great tits in the countryside. This is what researchers have found in a unique study, where they examined populations of great tits in nine large European cities. The researchers compared the city bird genes with the genes of their relatives in the countryside. It did not matter if the great tits lived in Milan, Malmö or Madrid: in order t

In an article recently published in Nature Communications, researchers Fan Wu, Tu C. Nguyen-Phan, Richard Cogdell, and Tönu Pullerits suggest that optical microcavities can be a strategic tool for modifying excitation energy transfer between molecular complexes. “We show that optical microcavities can enhance energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, even in the weak coupl

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio
