Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this

Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi omfattar idag tolv forskningsgrupper som alla studerar olika aspekter av blodcellers funktion vid hälsa och sjukdom. Genom hela livet utgår all blodbildning från så kallade blodstamceller som försörjer kroppen med miljarder blodkroppar varje dag. En normal balanserad produktion av blodkroppar via blodstamcellerna är avgörande för att vi skall hålla oss friska.Dysfunctional blood cell development can have fatal consequences on human health, with implications for several key areas of modern medicine, including amongst others the broad research areas of oncology and immunology. The Division of Molecular Hematology (DMH) aims to generate new knowledge about the regulation of blood cell development by applying recent advances in stem cell technology, in ord

Energi och ByggnadsDesign behandlar i huvudsak energianvändning, passivt och aktivt solutnyttjande, dagsljus och solskydd i byggnader och byggnadsintegrering av solvärme- och solelsystem. Brukarnas inverkan och krav på bl a termisk och visuell komfort ingår som en viktig del.

Avdelningen för musikvetenskap och intermediala studier är en del av Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper. Forskningen som bedrivs inom ämnet musikvetenskap är inriktad på musikens historia, kultur, produktion och estetik under 1900- och 2000-talen. Forskningen inom området intermediala studier är mång- och tvärvetenskaplig till sin karaktär och fokuserar på kulturella fenomen som hur ord, bilder oThe Division of Musicology and Intermedia Studies is part of the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences. The research conducted within the subject of Musicology is focused on the history, culture, production and aesthetics of music in the 20th and 21st centuries. The research in the area of Intermedia Studies is multi and interdisciplinary in nature and focuses on cultural phenomena such as how

Peptides constitute alternative molecules for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. However, their therapeutic effectiveness is often limited by enzymatic degradation, chemical and physical instability, and toxicity toward healthy human cells. To improve their pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles, novel routes of administration are being ex

The number of international students in higher education is steadily increasing, so their experiences in the new environment is a topic gaining more and more interest from academics (Wu & Hammond, 2011). The current research suggests a model for determining international students’ happiness. The determining factors in the hypothesized model are university satisfaction, residential satisfaction

Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future. For this we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture system, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing technologies and cell Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future.

Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with

Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood.

Forskarna inom detta område arbetar med forskning om bruk, skadligt bruk och beroende av alkohol och andra droger, ofta ur ett socialvetenskapligt perspektiv. Även beroendeproblem kopplade till spel om pengar och dopning berörs. Forskningen rör såväl människors livsvillkor och erfarenheter som vårdens, socialtjänstens och andra samhällsaktörers arbete. Forskningen har en bred metodologisk ansats oResearchers in this area study the use, harmful use, and dependence on alcohol and other drugs, often from a social science perspective. Gambling-related addiction problems and doping are also included. The research addresses both people’s living conditions and experiences, and the work of healthcare services, social services, and other societal actors. It takes a broad methodological approach and

Affärsrättsligt centrum vid Lunds universitet, ACLU , bildades 2016 av förmögenhets- och affärsrättsligt verksamma forskare vid Lunds universitet. Avsikten med ACLU är att såväl samla som stärka de vitala och kraftfulla forskningsmiljöer på det affärsjuridiska området som finns inom Lunds universitet och göra dem såväl nationellt som internationellt konkurrenskraftiga. För en framgångsrik forskninLund University Centre for Business Law (Swedish abbr: ACLU) was founded in 2016 by researchers at Lund University. The purpose of ACLU is both to assemble and to strengthen the necessary and forceful research environments that exist at Lund University, and to make them both nationally and international competitive. An intense exchange of experiences and knowledge between the University and the pu

Avd. bedriver grundforskning inom mikrobiologi, immunologi och glykobiologi, samt överbryggande forskning med klinisk inriktning. Molekylär bakteriell patogenes avser de mekanismer bakterier använder för att orsaka sjukdom med särskilt fokus kring infektioner i luftvägar, magtarmkanal, urinvägar och hud. Patogenerna orsakar intrikata cellbiologiska effekter. Den immunologiska forskningen inom avd.

IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, portends higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with quantifiable impairment in quality of life. While physical activity is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, recent evidence challenges its role in the development of AF. OBSERVATIONS: Emerging data suggest a U-shaped rel
