Även om barncancer är sällsynt drabbas årligen ca 350 barn och ungdomar under 18 år. Det är nästan ett barn varje dag. Men med förbättrad behandling överlever 80 % av dessa barn sin cancer. Men varför får barn cancer? Den gåtan är ännu inte löst. Barn drabbas av andra typer av cancer än vuxna och det är den genetiska slumpen som styr, inte den livsstil de har haft under sitt korta liv. – Det är in

Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Lund University has a large and broad range of research infrastructure on offer. Several are world-leading. Unfortunately, however, in many cases the knowledge among researchers of what is on offer is low. “There are many researchers who are unaware of what the University has and what is accessible or how the infrastructure can help their research”, says Kajsa M Paulsson who is infrastructure coor

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ
