Patienter som fötts med hjärtfel drabbas som vuxna betydligt tidigare av sin första akuta hjärtinfarkt jämfört med andra. Det visar en ny nationell studie från Lunds universitet. Men trots det tidigare insjuknandet skiljer sig varken överlevnadsgrad eller risk för fler hjärtinfarkter mellan dem med medfödda hjärtfel och andra personer. Studien inkluderar 214 patienter med medfödda hjärtfel som dra

Kan en neurofysiolog och en litteraturvetare hitta gemensam grund att stå på för att jobba tillsammans? Jodå – det intygar både Martin Garwicz och Katarina Bernhardsson som tillsammans leder Birgit Rausing Centrum för Medicinsk Humaniora. – Ursprungligen ville jag bli humanist och var väldigt intresserad av filosofi och språk. Det väckte min fascination för hjärnan, det mest humanistiska av alla v

Att resa till Mars är en nervkittlande fantasi för många av oss. Inte minst bland tech-miljardärer, vars fascination för rymden inte tycks veta några gränser. Forskare såväl som företag investerar stort i att utforska möjligheterna att resa till rymden. I Lund har forskarna tagit det ett steg längre, i alla fall i tanken. Psykologiforskaren Robert Holmberg och sociologen Christopher Mathieu arbeta

De exotiska kryddorna svartpeppar, kryddnejlika, ingefära och saffran har hittats vid en marinarkeologisk utgrävning på Gribshunden, den danske Kung Hans flaggskepp, som ligger på havsbotten i Ronnebytraktens skärgård. Fynden ger oss en konkret inblick i den medeltida elitens värld. – En riktig överraskning var hur väl bevarade kryddorna var. Saffranet var fortfarande lysande röd-orange och har be

Från djärva grepp i rätt tid under 1900-talet till ängsligt, otydligt och spretigt under 2000-talet. Svensk högskolepolitik har hamnat i otakt med samhällsutvecklingen och universitet i andra europeiska länder har tagit över ledartröjan vad gäller att ta sig an existentiella utmaningar. Det anser lundaprofessorerna Mats Benner och Sylvia Schwaag Serger. I den färska rapporten, Ändra allt!? En högs

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

Outside the different examining rooms at paediatric oncology unit 64 hang laminated name signs with rainbows, unicorns and tractors that the young patients have made themselves. Each year, the unit receives around 60 new paediatric cancer patients from southern Sweden requiring examination or treatment. Of these, 85 per cent survive.

Researcher Emma Hammarlund realized that geological measurement methods can also be used for medical purposes. With a simple hair sample, she hopes to find cancer at an early stage. First in the study are prostate cancer and breast cancer. Now her project has been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) 100 list. The list also includes eight other research projects fr

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot
