Positive metabolic effects of gastric bypass disappear quickly

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o

EU funding for killer cells that fight cancer

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. An international research project, wit

Breast cancer study altered guidelines in Sweden

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are well-known breast cancer genes associated with a significantly increased risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. However, there are an additional eleven genes associated with elevated risk for these types of cancer. A multi-year Swedish study now reveals that the proportion of women with genetically confirmed hereditary breast cancer doubled by including all genes in the

Kick-off for SciLifeLab Lund

On September 28, the official launch of SciLifeLab Lund will take place in Forum Medicum. Lund is one of the four new sites that were established in 2022. The sites in Gothenburg, Linköping, Umeå and Lund are part of a major governmental investment in national research infrastructure. The vision is for Sweden to be a world-leading research nation in molecular life sciences. Site coordinator Esther

New blood marker can identify Parkinsonian diseases

Is it possible that a single biomarker can detect all types of diseases related to dopamine deficiency in the brain? Yes, that's what a research group in Lund is discovering. "We have observed that an enzyme in cerebrospinal fluid and in blood is a useful marker for identifying all types of Parkinson's-related diseases with high accuracy," says Oskar Hansson, who led the study. The marker in quest

A new bioinfomatics pipeline solves a 50-year-old blood group puzzle

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

New report: opportunities and challenges for precision diabetes medicine

An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

This is how your blood vessels tolerate high blood pressure

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the

Filipe Pereira awarded the Eric K. Fernström Prize for Young Researchers

Filipe Pereira, professor of molecular medicine at Lund University, is awarded this year's Fernström prize for young, exceptionally promising, and successful researchers. He receives the award for his work on reprogramming blood cells and the development of immunotherapies based on this technology. It was a sheep that determined Filipe Pereira's career choice. He was in high school when he heard a

From enemy to friend – 33 million for reprogramming cancer cells

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

A new meeting hub has taken shape at Allhelgonaskolan

On 9 September, the official opening of Allhelgonaskolan took place. Staff from the Faculty of Social Sciences and other parts of the university, along with others, gathered to celebrate the newly refurbished building, which now houses both the Cesam conference centre and the Kansli S new activity-based workspaces. The old primary school, dating from 1889, was once again bustling with life as curi
