Genom att analysera små blåsor som hjärncellerna släpper ifrån sig för att kommunicera med omgivningen, mikrovesiklar, kartlägger forskare vid Lunds universitet vad som sker i hjärnan hos strokepatienter. Mikrovesiklar kan mätas i blodet och studien som publicerats i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Stroke, ökar förståelsen av stroke och öppnar dörrar för nya behandlingsstrategier.Stroke orsakad av b

Forskaren och läkaren Hannes Holm Isholth tilldelas Bundy Academys lilla pris i kardiologi på 500 000 kronor för sin forskning om kopplingen mellan hjärtkärlsystemet och hjärnans hälsa och funktion. Hannes Holm Isholths studier är framför allt baserade på befolkningsregister, men tillsammans med  forskargruppen studerar han även hur samspelet mellan hjärta och kärl ser ut för patienter med hjärtsv

Vem är i riskzonen att utveckla graviditetsdiabetes och typ 2-diabetes? Varför utvecklar inte alla som har fetma typ 2-diabetes? Hjelt Diabetes Foundation ger stöd åt två forskare vid Lunds universitets diabetescentrum som söker nya svar på dessa frågor. Graviditetsdiabetes innebär att kroppen inte klarar av att tillverka tillräckligt med insulin under graviditeten. Den här formen av diabetes går

Över en halv miljon svenskar har problem med nervinklämning i handleden – så kallad karpaltunnelsyndrom – ett tillstånd som orsakar stor smärta och kan påverka livskvaliteten negativt. Nu har Lars Dahlin, överläkare inom handkirurgi vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och professor vid Lunds universitet, gjort en sammanställning av all tillgänglig forskning på området till den internationella tidskrift

En nyligen påbörjad klinisk studie undersöker nu om det går att förbättra prognosen för personer som drabbas av septisk chock genom att minska på mängden vätska som patienterna får. – Ända sedan 1800-talet har vården gett vätskebehandling intravenöst till svårt sjuka. Detta till trots saknas evidens för hur vi bäst ska styra denna behandling för att för att utfallet ska bli så bra som möjligt för

… du doktorerar inom infektionsmedicin och har publicerat en studie som handlar om hur generna ändras hos en bakterie när den infekterar lungorna. Berätta!Vi har studerat hur bakterier, i detta fall Haemophilus influenzae, använder sina gener när de infekterar den mänskliga lungan, alltså hur genuttrycket förändras under pågående infektion. Haemophilus influenzae kan orsaka lunginflammation och äv

Blodpropp i ben eller lunga är en av våra vanligaste kärlsjukdomar och beror till 50 procent på ärftliga orsaker. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet utgått från registerstudier och undersökt familjer med sjukdomen hereditärt angioödem, HAE. De fann en ny ärftlig mekanism som ökar risken för blodproppar i ben och lungor hos individer med HAE. Studien, som publiceras i tidskriften Blood, v

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough.

A unique long-term study, in which biological samples were collected from the same population of blue tits over a 30-year period, shows that rising spring temperatures have doubled the incidence of avian malaria in southern Sweden. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have collected samples every year from hundreds of blue tits in a single population at a local breeding area outside Lund. Th

Pregnancies do not weaken a woman’s skeleton. Breastfeeding, however, can reduce bone density considerably. These are findings from a research report produced at Lund University in Sweden. But breastfeeding women need not worry. “There is a dip, but the body is absolutely fantastic at making up the loss,” says Kristina Åkesson, professor of orthopedics. Breastfeeding and pregnancy both require lar

Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

Ten years have passed since the countries of the world signed the Paris Agreement. Political scientist Fariborz Zelli sums up the surprises – both positive and negative – in climate policy over the past ten years and also looks ahead.

Current knowledge of food safety is based on traditional foods that include animal products. Corresponding knowledge of plant-based foods lags behind. “There is a naive belief that plant-based food is safer than animal-based food. Unfortunately, this is not the case,” says Jenny Schelin, a researcher on food safety at Lund University in Sweden. “Plant-based foods are just as vulnerable to the same

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a
