En ny studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet tyder på att melanom, den mest aggressiva formen av hudcancer, i vissa fall drivs av mitokondriella processer – och dessa kan bromsas med läkemedel som redan finns tillgängliga. I laboratoriestudier med cellodlingar kunde forskarna stoppa melanomceller med hjälp av antibiotika och andra substanser som påverkar mitokondriernas funktion. Melanom är
Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en ny observationsstudie tittat på samtliga fall av hjärttransplantationer hos barn under 18 år i Norden mellan 1986 och 2023. Totalt 597 barn ingick i studien, varav 461 transplanterades. Resultaten visar att överlevnaden ökat markant – en utveckling som forskarna kopplar till tekniska framsteg, avancerad teknik och bättre rutiner i vården. Kort om studien:597
Betygsreformen som infördes 2012 innebar att elever började få betyg redan i årskurs sex. En ny forskningsstudie från Lunds universitet, visar ett samband mellan införandet av tidigare betyg och ökad risk för att flickor diagnostiseras med depression och ångestsyndrom. Studien publiceras nu i tidskriften Health Economics. Den psykiska ohälsan bland unga är ett växande folkhälsoproblem. Samtidigt p
