Trots banbrytande forskning når många cell- och genterapier inte hela vägen till patienterna. Forskare och kliniker i Lund presenterar nu en ny samarbetsmodell som ska korta ledtider och minska kostnader – med målet att ge fler tillgång till avancerade, potentiellt botande behandlingar. Detta är en gemensam nyhet från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus.I korthet:Varför lovande cell-

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

Vid besvär av bland annat oregelbunden hjärtrytm, yrsel eller svimning kan EKG behöva registreras under flera dygn – långtids-EKG – som sedan granskas för att hitta avvikelser i hjärtrytmen. Arbetet är både tids- och resurskrävande. I en stor internationell klinisk studie har forskare därför testat om AI kan ersätta människan för analys och bedöming av långtids-EKG. Resultatet: 14 gånger färre mis

Lundalektorn Joakim Zander blev jurist i Uppsala och doktor i Nederländerna, men författarskapet har han tagit med sig till Lund, hem­staden sedan drygt tio år. Den 31 juli har filmatiseringen av spännings­romanen ”Ett ärligt liv” premiär på Netflix. Där utgör Lund både skåde­plats och brottsplats för en juriststudents drömmar och vedermödor.

When LINXS moved from its old premises at Ideon to The Loop in Science Village in March, the institute became the first research environment from Lund University to make the move to Brunnshög. Since then, activities have more than doubled, new collaborations have emerged, and the team’s mood is distinctly optimistic.I met with Anna Ntinidou, Head of Administration, Noomi Egan, Communications Offic

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

On 8 April, it was time for the the annual table tennis tournament at LUSEM, and this year also marked its 11th anniversary! Finally it was that time again, time for table tennis at LUSEM. The tournament first started in 2013 but has had three breaks over the years, which is why the 10-year celebration took place last year. (See the fact box for more details on past years and winners.)This year 24

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – previously known as UFOs – have fascinated humankind for centuries, from mysterious lights in the sky to sensor data and close contacts which defy conventional explanations. These events challenge our understanding of nature, technology, and even our place in the universe. Will a new interdisciplinary group of researchers at the Pufendorf Institute, Lund Un

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In brief:Why promising cell and gene therapies fail to reach implementation

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method that relates healthcare needs to the changing value of time for patients at the end of life. The less time they have left to live, the more precious time feels. Every year,

Ethnologist Susanne Lundin’s research is ultimately about life and death and how people relate to the inevitable. What are people willing to do to delay the end briefly? Is there a limit beyond which someone ceases to be human?
