Akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) är en av de vanligaste formerna av blodcancer hos vuxna och är associerad med låg överlevnad. I Sverige insjuknar runt 350 personer årligen i denna aggressiva sjukdom som leder till att den normala blodbildningen hämmas. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet identifierat en av de gener som är grunden till att leukemistamcellerna överlever och förökar sig. Studien

"Du måste stärka dina benmuskler" heter det ofta när det gäller personer med artros, som uppmanas att styrketräna och gå på långa promenader. Men den sortens träning är inte vad de i första hand behöver, menar Eva Ageberg, docent i sjukgymnastik. - Om en person haltar när hon går för att knäet ska göra mindre ont, så hjälper det ju inte att promenera. Det befäster bara ett felaktigt rörelsemönster

Lediga dagar med sol, bad och glass är en bild av den svenska sommaren. En annan verklighet är besvärliga insekter och kryp som för många blir en sommarplåga. Både människor och husdjur drabbas: i skogen, på stranden, i trädgården. Christer Hansson, intendent vid biologiska museet i Lund, listar här några av sommarens plågoandar som bits, sticks och suger blod. Fästingar (0,5-5 mm) är ett slags sp

The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, have now carried out the most extensive analysis to date of ALL at the protein level, by studying the activity in over 8 000 genes and proteins. The results show aberrant folding in the DNA

For a mathematician, the waves of the sea are related to differential equations, and particularly complex ones at that. Mathematical research can help to improve understanding of how waves form and move – which could be useful, for example, in the work to predict dangerous monster waves. The sunlight glistens on the rippling waves. The calm expanse of the sea is spread out before Lomma beach. Erik
