Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a ne

Welcome to the second edition of the "WCMM Fireside Chat" series, an ongoing initiative designed to showcase and highlight the work of researchers affiliated with or connected to WCMM in Lund. The idea is to foster an environment of collaboration and open communication through the WCMM Fireside Chat. In this edition, we turn our spotlight to Nicholas Leigh, a distinguished fellow in Regenerative I

Red-backed shrikes fly thousands of kilometres to reach Africa – and they do so with astonishing precision. Aided by new technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the birds’ journeys in detail. It turns out that they may have a more complex genetic migration programme than researchers have previously been able to show. “We can now follow a bird’s location through

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In the so far largest clinical study of the development of microbiomes, i.e. intestinal flora, in infants, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, USA, have found that development takes place in different phases that can be associated with lifestyle changes during the early stages in life. The findings are base

CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions. Swedish research contributes to improving public health in Japan.– Through long-term and careful work, we have been able to transfer it to a very different cultural co

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

On 8 April, it was time for the the annual table tennis tournament at LUSEM, and this year also marked its 11th anniversary! Finally it was that time again, time for table tennis at LUSEM. The tournament first started in 2013 but has had three breaks over the years, which is why the 10-year celebration took place last year.

Nyligen fångade ett nytt instrument på det fyra meter stora VISTA-teleskopet vid det Europeiska sydobservatoriet i Chile in sitt första stjärnljus. Det markerar starten för en ny era i astronomin, där forskare ska kartlägga himlen i aldrig tidigare skådad detalj. Instrumentet, som fått namnet 4MOST, eller Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope, tar inte vanliga bilder av natthimlen. I stället samlar

Alzheimers sjukdom kan leda till flera, vitt skilda symtom och hittills har de olika uttrycken främst observerats genom patientens beteende och uppträdande. Forskare vid Lunds universitet åskådliggör nu i bild förändringar i hjärnan vid dessa symtom – något som ökar kunskapen och som kan underlätta framtida diagnostik och behandling. Symtomen vid Alzheimers sjukdom varierar och hänger ofta samman
