New data presented by researchers at Lund University and others in the journal Oceanologia show that the air along the coasts is full of hazardous nanoparticles from sea traffic. Almost half of the measured particles stem from sea traffic emissions, while the rest is deemed to be mainly from cars but also biomass combustion, industries and natural particles from the sea. “This is the first time an

At any given time, more than 2 billion natural killer cells patrol the adult bloodstream as frontline defenders, protecting against infections and cancer. In a recent study published in Blood Advances, researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center present a comprehensive developmental map of human NK cells and their regulatory networks. Natural killer (NK) cells, named for their rapid res

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted b

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk
