Bly. PCB. Bekämpningsmedel och bromerade flamskyddsmedel. Samt plasttillsatser och tungmetaller. Det var vad forskare i Lund hittade när de samlade in döda igelkottar för att undersöka vilka miljöföroreningar som finns i urbana miljöer. Urbana gröna områden är attraktiva för många vilda arter, men innehåller också en rad ohållbara syntetiska material och kemikalier. Igelkottar vandrar långa sträck

Vetenskapsrådets indragna anslag till utvecklingsforskning har drabbat forskare vid Lunds universitet hårt. – Det här har vi sett i andra länder där ytterhögerpartier har haft stort inflytande, säger Anders ­Uhlin, professor i statsvetenskap och en av de forskare som hade lämnat in en ansökan om anslag. Sydostasien har länge varit Anders Uhlins område. I december förra året befann han sig i Indone

Nästan hälften av alla demensfall kan bero på riskfaktorer som vi själva kan påverka, till exempel rökning och högt blodtryck. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar vilka riskfaktorer som är förknippade med två av våra vanligaste demenssjukdomar - Alzheimers sjukdom och vaskulär demens. Under livet påverkas risken att utveckla demens av aspekter som vi inte kan förändra – såsom ålder, kön och

I en nyligen publicerad översiktsartikel från Lunds universitet, har forskare analyserat förekomsten av kejsarsnitt i olika europeiska länder. Resultaten visar att privata sjukhus i flera länder har en högre andel kejsarsnitt än offentliga sjukhus, även bland kvinnor i lågriskgrupper. Kejsarsnittsfrekvensen varierade från cirka 17 procent i norra Europa till över 50 procent i södra Europa. Kejsars

Fallen av bröstcancer mellan två screeningundersökningar blev färre, och av de cancrar som hann utvecklas var färre allvarliga och aggressiva. Nu är slutresultaten från Lunds universitets forskningsstudie MASAI klara, och de visar på ytterligare nytta med AI-stödd bröstcancerscreening. Studien har redan tidigare visat att AI-stöd bidrar till 29 procent fler hittade fall av bröstcancer jämfört med

Med hjälp av maskininlärning och en stor mängd data om gener och befintliga läkemedel, har lundaforskare identifierat en kombination av statiner och fentiaziner som särskilt lovande vid behandling av den aggressiva formen av neuroblastom. I experimentella studier – i möss med mänskliga tumörceller – visade resultaten på bromsad tumörtillväxt och längre överlevnad. Ovanlig men allvarlig form av bar

För att kunna programmera om lättillgängliga celler till specifika immunceller som bekämpar olika sjukdomar, måste man känna till “receptet” för omvandlingen. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet skapat ett bibliotek av de 400 faktorer som behövs för omprogrammering och påbörjat arbetet med att hitta rätt kombination – recept – för varje typ av immuncell. Vårt immunförsvar består av skilda typer

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, approximately one in five Swedes are already choosing not to buy American brands. The majority would consider boycotting American products such as Coca-Cola in favour of European or Swedish alternatives. A study conducted by brand researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Norstat Sweden, shows that virtually all Swedish c

The owlet, little over three weeks old, squints slightly as Hannah Watson lays it on its back in a plastic container that once held vanilla ice cream. It seems quite happy there.

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Not only does a successful researcher need to produce good research, their findings must also be visible among tough comp

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In
