Fallen av bröstcancer mellan två screeningundersökningar blev färre, och av de cancrar som hann utvecklas var färre allvarliga och aggressiva. Nu är slutresultaten från Lunds universitets forskningsstudie MASAI klara, och de visar på ytterligare nytta med AI-stödd bröstcancerscreening. Studien har redan tidigare visat att AI-stöd bidrar till 29 procent fler hittade fall av bröstcancer jämfört med

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna
Den 12 december presenterade regeringen forsknings- och innovationspropositionen med titeln ”Forskning och innovation för framtid, nyfikenhet och nytta”. En samlad bedömning av propositionen visar att den är mycket mer utmanande för Lunds universitet än någon tidigare forskningsproposition. Den erbjuder stora möjligheter för många forskare och olika typer av forskning, samtidigt som den styr forsk

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra
