Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Det saknas inte initiativ för att bryta det växande sociala utanförskapet i Sverige. Mer oklart är vad som fungerar. Forskningen hittills visar att “eldsjälar” är en nyckel till framgång. Men är det rimligt att lägga allt ansvar på dem? Sverige, liksom resten av världen, brottas med flera stora samhällsutmaningar. Ojämlikheten och inkomstklyftorna ökar och antalet resurssvaga bostadsområden har bl

Nya resultat från en stor registerstudie visar på ett tydligt samband mellan urinvägsinfektion (UVI) hos personer över 50 och olika slags urinvägs- och gynekologisk cancer. - Resultaten tyder på att urinvägsinfektion i denna åldersgrupp kan vara en indikation för cancer, säger Filip Jansåker, men understryker att de allra flesta som drabbas av infektionen inte har cancer. UVI är en väldigt vanlig

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets.

Apocalyptic beliefs are as old as humankind itself. So, why are we drawn to stories about the finite nature of everything? A group of researchers is trying to get to grips with the issue. “In fact, we have always been as close to or as far from an apocalypse, if by that we mean a global catastrophe that wipes out or radically alters life. The idea that human life is fragile and can come to an abru

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to
