Cancerforskare vid Lunds universitet har funnit en ny klass av genfusioner med egenskaper som påverkar och kan driva utveckling av cancer. En genfusion uppstår när ett kromosombrott för samman delar av två skilda gener till en ny fungerande gen. Forskningen har hittills fokuserat på proteinkodade genfusioner. Men mä

Forskare har upptäckt många märkliga föremål i vraket utanför den grekiska ön Antikythera, bl a delar av en bronsstaty och en mystisk skiva med en bild av en tjur. Statydelarna, framför allt en arm i brons och två marmorfötter på en sockel, upptäcktes under stora stenblock och det gör att det internationella forskar

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det har funnits farhågor att svininfluensa-vaccinet Pandemrix skulle öka risken för fler autoimmuna sjukdomar än narkolepsi. En ny studie med barn från Sverige och Finland visar dock att varken risken för autoantikroppar mot de insulinproducerande betacellerna eller typ 1-diabetes, var ökad. – Tvärtom var risken min

Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. Read more at lu.se.

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators. Our team has used a type of AI

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making. This year, Johan Axhamn, senior lecturer in Business Law here at LUSEM, was the sole representative from Lund Univ

Lund University’s fastest growing online course can have up to a thousand new participants every week. ‘AI, business and the future of work’ is a success story – but behind it lies many hours of hard work. “In total, we have probably spent 8,000 hours preparing and producing the course,” says Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, currently senior lecturer in European Studies and deputy dean of the Joint Facu

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

His sights are set on finding a moment in time when the chemistry of the oceans changed completely, when the diatoms became common, which changed the Earth's ecosystem. In addition to be a major food source, the algae absorb large quantities of silicon from t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The terrestrial silicon (Si) cycle determines the amount of Si transported to the oceans. In this study we use Si isotopes measured in diatoms to show how human activity influences the Si budget of Lake Tiefer See (Germany) within the last 4300 years. Deforestation and crop harvest in the catchment are the dominant pr

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research has shed new light on the impact of humans on Earth’s biodiversity. The findings suggest that the rate of change in an ecosystem’s plant-life increases significantly during the years following human settlement, with the most dramatic changes occurring in locations colonized in the last 1500 years.  An interna
