En ny strategi för screening av nyfödda kan leda till att man undviker livshotande komplikationer hos barn som får typ 1-diabetes. Strategin innebär att man med en ny metod tar fram en ”risk score” redan vid födseln som förutser vilka barn som kommer att insjukna. Studien publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften N

Astronomer kan med hjälp av superdatorer simulera hur galaxer bildats ända sedan Big Bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan fram till idag. Men det finns en rad felkällor. En internationell forskargrupp, ledd av Lunds universitet och Seoul National University, har i åtta år använt hundra miljoner datortimmar för att råda bot på dessa. Under det senaste årtiondet har det gjorts stora framsteg när det kom

Cancerforskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt den väg som så kallade exosomer använder när de tar sig in i cancerceller för att driva på tumörutvecklingen. Genom att blockera vägen har de i modellsystem även lyckats hejda exosomers aktivering av cancerceller för elakartade tumörer Forskningsrönen publiceras nu i

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s
