Hur kan man styra en inflammatorisk lungsjukdom så att den inte blir kronisk? Och hjälpa lungan att självläka? Det försöker Gunilla Westergren-Thorsson, professor i medicinsk cellbiologi, och hennes team vid Lunds universitet, ta reda på. Gunilla Westergren-Thorsson leder forskargruppen Lungbiologi, som forskar på lungans sjukdomar. – Vi tittar på de små beståndsdelarna i lungvävnaden, olika celle

Med ny teknik odlas ny lungvävnad i docent Darcy Wagners laboratorium. – Vi hoppas att man med denna teknik ska kunna ersätta områden med sjuk lungvävnad med bioutskrifter, istället för att ta bort hela lungan. Darcy Wagners forskargrupp, ”Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration”, har utvecklat något som kallas biobläck som används i 3D-utskrifter av ny lungvävnad och luftvägsvävnad. – Istället för a

Bara 20 procent av de lungor som doneras är i sådant skick att de kan användas för transplantation. Och när de väl transplanterats, är det många som stöts bort. Sandra Lindstedt, forskare och adjungerad professor i thoraxkirurgi, försöker förbättra denna statistik genom sin forskning. De övriga 80 procenten av donerade lungor kan inte användas eftersom de har en skada. – De ena stora utmaningen vi

En storskalig studie av avförings- och blodprover visar att det finns starka kopplingar mellan tarmbakterier och metaboliter i blodet. Forskarna bakom studien har bland annat hittat nya associationer mellan ett vanligt läkemedel för behandling av typ 2-diabetes och tarmfloran. Studien har letts av forskare vid Uppsala universitet och Lunds universitet. Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har bl
