Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 r

Cold weather, dry air, an overactive immune system or our modern lifestyle. The causes may vary, but an increasing number of people are suffering from atopic eczema. In particular, children from higher socioeconomic backgrounds are at higher risk of developing the condition. However, there is help available and it is important to apply treatment early says Laura von Kobyletzki, a researcher at Lun

EAT-Lancet-kosten är en modell för hur det globala livsmedelssystemet ska förhålla sig till planetens begränsningar samtidigt som folksjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes kan förebyggas. Men hur ska vi veta om dieten verkligen fungerar? Genom att studera sju kostindex har ett internationellt forskarlag funnit att två av dem är särskilt bra på att utvärdera följsamhet till kosten. Välfungerande kostindex b

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

In a recent study from the Netherlands, researchers investigated whether PRP has any effect on ankle osteoarthritis. In a new study, treatment with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for ankle osteoarthritis has been investigated. The study lasted for one year and involved 100 participants, with half randomly assigned to receive PRP treatment and the remaining participants receiving a placebo treatment. E
