Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Olga had published academic work over 25 times before she fell victim to a predatory journal. Today she is embarrassed be

Recurrent threats via telephone, email and letter – often in conjunction with being published. That is part of everyday research for gender researcher Diana Mulinari and many of her colleagues. “It is almost systematic. Those who hate and make threats are aggressively sexist and racist. Their hate ideology is based on who I am – a woman with a foreign background.” Diana Mulinari, is a Doctor of S

Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new research about the disease to clinical practice. However, first they have to find a way

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi
