A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

A new regulation from the government that takes effect on 1 January 2023 decides how universities are allowed to supply housing to its students. This means some groups we have previously housed, are no longer eligible to get housing with us in the new year. Note however that current contracts and contracts already offered before 1 January 2023 are still valid and go by the higher precedent of "pos

Metformin är ett läkemedel som ska sänka blodsockret vid typ 2-diabetes. En tredjedel av patienterna svarar inte på behandlingen och en tredjedel upplever allvarliga biverkningar, varför många väljer att sluta medicinera. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum utvecklat, och sökt patent på, en markör som genom ett enkelt blodprov i förväg visar hur patienten kommer att svara på beh

Arbetet med Lunds universitets etablering i Science Village har fortsatt under året, men med en ny inriktning. I slutet av förra året beslutade LTH:s och naturvetenskapliga fakultetens styrelser att inte gå vidare med scenario 5 – en samlokalisering av fysiska institutionen och kemiska institutionen i området – på grund av kostnadsskäl och utmaningen att ha utbildning på två olika platser. Projekt

Trump’s intervention in Venezuela was physical, concrete, and armed. What is happening now is decisive for the country’s future, but it also affects the entire region, according to Andrés Palacio, researcher at LUSEM. Historically, the United States has on several occasions asserted Central America, the Caribbean, and South America as its sphere of interest. Since the end of the Second World War,

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at
