Det väl känt att prematurt födda barn, före vecka 37, riskerar seneffekter som vuxna med olika former av komplikationer, bland annat vad gäller hjärt- och lungfunktion. Nu har svenska och amerikanska forskare i en stor registerstudie funnit tydliga korrelationer mellan för tidig födelse och risk för utvecklingen av

Smärtupplevelser är komplexa, och påverkas av fysiologiska, psykologiska och sociala faktorer. Till komplexiteten kan nu läggas nya forskningsresultat i en avhandling från Lunds universitet, som visar att en man som utsätts för fysisk smärta upplever mindre stark smärta om han utfrågas av en kvinna än av en man. – Detta trots att undersökarna var likadant klädda och förhöll sig till samma manus, s

Grattis till Karin Tran-Lundmark som tilldelas Prins Daniels anslag för yngre lovande forskare 2023 på sex miljoner kronor för sin forskning om Pulmonell hypertension (PH). Det är en obotlig hjärt-lungsjukdom med ett förhöjt blodtryck i lungans blodkärl som på sikt skadar hjärtat. - Jag ser i mitt kliniska arbete med barn hur mycket lidande pulmonell hypertension orsakar.

I en studie ledd från Lunds universitet kan forskarna för första gången visa att traumatiska hjärnskador aktiverar vilande endogena retrovirus som under årmiljonernas gång infogats i människans DNA. Att dessa aktiveras kan vara drivande för att starta en inflammation som förvärrar hjärnskadan. Studien är publicerad i Cell Reports. Vid ett skalltrauma uppstår skador på hjärnvävnaden och ofta en kro

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Tror du att stress håller dig på tårna och hjälper dig att prestera bättre? Nya forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet tyder på att så inte är fallet – i alla fall inte om stressen inte är relaterat till prestationsmomentet. Det vetenskapliga experimentet genomfördes bland 23 unga svenska manliga elitsimmare. De

There has been a record-breaking number of applicants for Lund University’s international recruitment drive. The original total of 25 advertised positions has been increased to 45 – researchers from some of the world’s leading universities who are now heading to Lund. The recruited researchers come from higher education institutions such as Harvard University, the University of Oxford, the Humbold

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

A research team has created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. This happened despite the fact that the digital creatures weren’t given any instructions. The results show how AI can be used to understand the inner secrets of evolution. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer. In the

Many people feel anxious about climate change and other trends in the world around us. However, there are constructive ways to cope with one’s emotions. Researcher Marlis Wullenkord sums up the current state of research. In step with the incorporation of the word ”klimatångest” (climate anxiety) in the Swedish vocabulary, more and more researchers have become interested in the concept. One of them

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

Efforts to understand whether someone is lying often focus on how the person talks. New research suggests it could be promising to also examine how someone writes. This is according to Kajsa Gullberg, researcher in general linguistics, who hopes that her thesis can provide insights into people’s complex language skills. Kajsa Gullberg’s research shows that the degree of truth in what you write can

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

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using

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.

There is a tiny cyclops among your oldest ancestors, and humans share these remarkable ancestral roots with all other vertebrates. This according to new, surprising research on the evolution of the eye. Researchers from Lund University and University of Sussex have found that all vertebrates evolved from a distant ancestor that had a single eye located at the top of its head. The study also reveal

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. A new discovery from Lund University in Sweden could be the inspiration for smart materials and new drug delivery techniques. Imagine a membrane that separates dry air from a moist interior. When moisture
