Positiva tidiga säkerhetsresultat har uppnåtts efter de fyra första patienterna som genomgått transplantation av dopaminproducerande stamceller inom den kliniska studien STEM-PD. Gemensam forskningsnyhet från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhusSTEM-PD-studien undersöker för första gången i människa en ny terapi mot Parkinsons sjukdom. Målet är att ersätta dopaminceller som gått förlor
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

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

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

The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

The strong connection between financial problems and mental health issues is well known. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that only one in five young adults could correctly answer three basic questions about inflation, interest rates and risk diversification. At the same time, they are getting more into debt. This, the researchers argue, is a worrying development. We now know that

During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University in Sweden has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global climate system by absorbi

Body shape, colour and behaviour often evolve together as species adapt to their environment. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have studied this phenomenon in a specific type of large, bright green and aggressive common wall lizard found near the Mediterranean. They discovered that a unique cell type might have played a key role in this joint evolution. Adaptation is a genetic change tha

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University in Sweden and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There a
