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
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

I en ny KEFU-rapport belyser strategiforskaren Stein Kleppestø kommunernas roll inom totalförsvaret hur de kan och bör arbeta strategiskt med sin krisberedskap i en kaotisk tid. Det behövs mycket mer forskning på området, menar han. Säkerhetsläget i världen har förändrats drastiskt de senaste åren, något som ställer nya krav på såväl militär beredskap som på civil beredskap – där de svenska kommun
Har du märkt att forskares svar på frågor om en särskild extremväderhändelse beror på klimatförändringen eller inte brukar lyda något i stil med “Det passar in i mönstret, men vi kan inte säga med säkerhet att just denna händelse blivit värre på grund av klimatförändringarna”? Väderattribution är ett nytt fenomen som håller på att ändra på detta. Klimatforskare Wilhelm May på Lunds universitet hjä

Sektionen Kommunikation stöps om. Syftet med det nya uppdraget är att kunna erbjuda verksamheten ett samordnat kommunikationsstöd. Bland annat ska internkommunikationen bli mer systematisk, den digitala infrastrukturen få ökade resurser och fokus riktas mot pressfrågor och internationellt genomslag. I samband med omstöpningen läggs LUM ner efter beslut från universitetsledningen. Enligt kommunika

Under pandemin ökade anmälningarna om fusk dramatiskt, med över 100 procent. För att möta utvecklingen startades pilotprojektet ”Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” som skulle stärka undervisningsmiljöernas förmåga att förebygga fusk och ta fram rutiner och material för fortsatt arbete. Bakom ökningen under corona låg, inte bara det faktum att utbildningen skedde på distans, utan också nya sätt att

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

There were no differences in quality of life, symptoms, hospital admissions or mortality between a group of patients with pulmonary disease and low oxygen levels in the blood that received oxygen therapy at home for 24 hours a day, and a group that received the same therapy for 15 hours a day, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. “This has considerable significance for patients wit

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops.

Innovation and successful higher education institutions go hand in hand. It would be difficult to name a well-renowned university that is not also strong on innovation issues. At Lund University, we have been working on innovation for a long time and in a variety of ways, not least in terms of research results that in turn have resulted in start-up companies. Many of these companies have also bene
