In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

What does a breath of air actually contain – and how does the air we breathe affect our health and society as a whole? And how can we protect ourselves from potential threats in the air that is essential to life? These are questions that the new ATLAS research project aims to answer by tracking the impact of air from molecule to society. The project has received the Swedish Research Council's Netw

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body’s capability to form new blood vessels in muscles – a mechanism that affects physical performance, health and recovery. The favourable gene variant is considerably more common among top athletes in endurance sports, compared with both top athletes in explosive sports and non-at

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In brief:Why promising cell and gene therapies fail to reach implementation

Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) can cause more serious liver conditions, such as liver failure. A new study, led by Lund University in Sweden, presents new data that may lead to better disease management and prevention in the future. The international research team identified an altered expression of specific genes in samples from individuals with obesity, MASLD an

Antibiotic treatments help the body to fight infections and should have as little negative impact on humans as possible. A new study in the journal Nature Medicine shows that the use of antibiotics can affect the human gut microbiota for several years. The study found that some types of antibiotics had a greater impact on the gut microbiota than others. “It is great that we have antibiotics which

Studies of the gut microbiota can provide new knowledge about human health and how the risk of developing various diseases is affected. Marju Orho-Melander at Lund University is one of the authors of two new articles in Nature Genetics which have discovered several new gene variants in the human genome which may influence which bacteria are found in the gut. Some of the new gene variants can be li
