Vissa graviditetskomplikationer ger ökad risk för senare hjärtsjukdom. Mycket är dock fortfarande okänt kring hur åderförkalkning utvecklas mellan graviditeten och hjärtsjukdom senare i livet. En ny stor studie som letts av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att förträngningar och åderförkalkning är vanligare bland de drabbade kvinnorna även om de bedömts ha låg risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdom utifrå

Idag finns teknologi som med extremt hög upplösning gör det möjligt för forskarna att kartlägga strukturen på cellernas minsta beståndsdelar, som kroppens proteiner. Genom att förstå hur de ser ut och interagerar med sin omgivning, lär sig forskarna mer om hur våra celler fungerar. Både när vi är friska, och när vi är sjuka. Kunskap som kan leda till mer effektiva läkemedelsbehandlingar, designade

Tove Fall blev ett känt ansikte för många svenskar under coronapandemin när hon berättade om sjukdomens spridning och utveckling i Sverige. Hon är även en framstående diabetesforskare som använder sig av stora datamängder för att få en bättre förståelse för hur diabetes utvecklas. Nu tilldelas hon Leif C. Groop-priset för sin diabetesforskning. Prismotivering: ”Tove Fall vid Uppsala universitet ti

Under fosterstadiet pågår flera olika så kallade cellprogram som är viktiga för fosterutvecklingen. I en studie som publiceras i Cell Reports visar forskare vid Lunds universitet på studier i möss att ett av dessa program verkar skydda mot cancerformen akut myeloisk leukemi, AML. – Vi har använt en experimentell musmodell som alltid leder till denna typ av leukemi. Det intressanta är att när vi ti

Gränserna mellan biologi och teknologi suddas ut. Forskare vid Linköpings, Lunds och Göteborgs universitet har lyckats odla elektroder i levande vävnad med kroppens egna molekyler som utlösare. Resultatet, som publicerats i tidskriften Science, banar väg för tillverkning av helt integrerade elektroniska kretsar i levande organismer. – I flera decennier har vi försökt skapa elektronik som härmar bi

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

Through molecular studies of knee tissue and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, researchers hope to gain new insights into the early development of osteoarthritis. The hope is to pave the way for new treatments. For almost five years, researchers in Lund have been collecting knee tissue from over 700 people in a biobank. With the support of the Skåne University Hospital Tissue Bank

Despite a widespread and outdated view of older people, and an abundance of stereotypes, awareness of what is known as ageism is limited. A new short guide gives tips for how you can use your communication to counter discrimination against older people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have been highlighting ageism for almost 20 years. Put simply, ageism can be descr

Lund University has been ranked 85th in the world in the QS World University rankings, making it the top ranked comprehensive university in Sweden. QS has published university rankings annually since 2004 and the ranking is done in collaboration with Elsevier. On 27 June, QS published its latest list (Ranking 2024) in which 2,963 institutions were evaluated and 1,503 universities were ranked. Lund

Researchers led by Lund University in Sweden have assisted microbiologists in Ukraine in investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The results, which were recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, reveal that many of the patients were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance. “I am quite thick-ski

Different species of migrating bird have different genetically programmed procedures that signal when it is time to head off and when it is time to return. It may have to do with factors such as daylight, temperature, weather and the Earth’s magnetic field. These migration programmes have been studied before, but new technology and computational capacity make it possible to process large amounts o

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund

Gaining access to Brief Admission by self-referral reduced the need for emergency care in adolescents with severe self-harm. The method has previously been introduced for adults, and a study led by researchers from Lund University has now explored whether the method could also be used for children and young people. The results are published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Most children and young people

An international group of researchers has been studying a group of microorganisms called Asgard archaea for several years. According to the research, these unique organisms are the origin of all complex life forms that we see around us today. The first life forms that evolved on Earth were called prokaryotes – a group of single-celled organisms that include bacteria. However, between two and three

The climate control used by termites in their mounds could inspire tomorrow’s climate-smart buildings. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that future buildings inspired by the termites could achieve the same effect as traditional climate control, but with greater energy efficiency and without its carbon dioxide footprint. Termite mounds have a sophisticated ventilation system that e

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

The dry summer of 2018 hit Swedish forests hard - and hardest affected were the managed secondary forests. This according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Northern boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience more frequent summer droughts in the future. The majority of Swedish forest are secondary forests that are managed commercial forests with little diversity in species an

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo
