Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

What is the link between atherosclerosis and gut and mouth bacteria? Researchers behind a large new study have found several new connections. In the long term, this knowledge can benefit people with type 2 diabetes, a group with an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, fat and calcium have accumulated in the artery walls over time, forming so called atherosclerotic plaq

The guidelines governing the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest exhibit variation across different nations, with treatment strategies often resting on a limited evidential foundation. A randomized international study is underway poised to address some of the most pivotal questions. Encompassing a cohort of 3,500 patients, this study aims to scrutinize the impact of different fever treatments, cont

A team of researchers from Lund University and the Lund Stem Cell Center have developed a new memory-efficient tool for single-cell genomic analysis called Scarf. Now available in Nature Communications, this innovative, bioinformatics software has the potential to help researchers navigate a growing treasure trove of data and set them on the path to answering new scientific questions related to hu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst.

Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin. People of all

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

They then work for seven hours under the burning sun in the middle of nowhere in Egypt’s desert landscape among venomous scorpions and lizards. They only stop work for lunch and a typical Egyptian chai tea break. “The most common danger is sunstro
