Forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklar en ny typ av genterapi som omprogrammerar cancerceller inuti tumörer till immunceller vilka kan hjälpa immunsystemet att bekämpa cancer. Deras metod, som nu publicerats i tidskriften Science, kan leda till mer effektiva behandlingar för svårbehandlade cancerformer. Omprogrammering av cancerceller till immuncellerTidigare forskning av teamet visade att tre s

Vi måste prioritera naturen även om det finns andra motstridiga intressen – den biologiska mångfalden är viktig för alla på planeten och avgörande för människors hälsa och välfärd. Det säger Maria Blasi Romero, forskare i biodiversitet och bevarandevetenskap vid Lunds universitet. – Jag åkte till COP15 för att lära mig mer om processerna och hur jag kan dela med mig av min forskning till de som ka

Den årliga uppföljningen för 2025 visar att universitetets systematiska arbetsmiljöarbete (SAM) fungerar väl och utvecklas i en positiv riktning. Uppföljningen ger en samlad bild av hur arbetsmiljöarbetet planeras, genomförs, följs upp och förbättras på olika nivåer i organisationen. På universitetsgemensam nivå bedöms samtliga delar av SAM som välfungerande, och allt fler verksamheter lägger nu t

Sura barn kan höra julafton till. Faktum är att barnens besvikelse är ett ypperligt tillfälle att träna dem inför kommande svårigheter i livet. Det menar Elia Psouni, professor i utvecklingspsykologi. En vän som inte dyker upp i tid, en dator som kraschar mitt i en Fortnite-runda eller en julklapp som bara är så fel som den kan bli. – Besvikelse är en komplex känsla. Det är nämligen en emotion, so

Mineraler och metaller behövs för batterier, motorer och för elektrifieringen. Men var gruvor ska etableras och hur man ska hantera deras påverkan är komplicerat och svårlöst. Tre forskare reflekterar kring om mineralutvinningen kan bli hållbar. Jakten på mineraler skapar nya konflikter. När efterfrågan på metaller till batterier och motorer ökar uppstår debatt om var gruvor ska ligga och vilken p

De flesta kvinnor uppger under sin graviditet att de gärna vill amma och att de ser hälsofördelar både för sitt barn och för sig själva. Ändå är det bara cirka 60 procent som helammar två månader efter födseln. En studie från Lunds universitet visar att inom vårdformen BB hemma, fortsätter många fler nyblivna mammor amma. Längre amning ger flera skyddande effekter. För barnet minskar risken för in

One in three patients is asked about their lifestyle habits when they visit the outpatient healthcare clinics. This figure really ought to be higher, according to Professors Hanne Tønnesen and Inger Kristensson Hallström, who are in charge of the WHO Collaborating Centre at Lund University. Lifestyle should concern the health care system even more than it does today,stresses Hanne Tønnesen: “We qu

Higher dose cohort initiated after positive early safety evaluation in Parkinson's therapy. After a positive initial safety evaluation, the pioneering STEM-PD clinical trial has advanced to higher dose testing. STEM-PD is a first-in-human clinical trial testing a new investigational therapy for Parkinson’s disease aimed at replacing the dopamine cells lost to the disease with healthy ones derived

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

Obesity is a common cause of diabetes, heart disease and early death, but risk differs greatly from one person to the next. In work led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative project SOPHIA, a pioneering clinical risk prediction algorithm has been developed that splits obesity into 5 separate diagnostic profiles each with contrasting health conseq

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

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge

Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing
