Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this step toward the future development of patient-tailored, personalized models of bone cancers and tumors. On average, the adult body consists of 206 bones. Housed in the center

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA). The new preferential right requires

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers have shown for the first time that an animal uses different directional sensors to achieve the highest possible navigational precision in different conditions. When the sun is high, dung beetles navigate using the wind. The discovery of the dung beetles’ wind compass and how it complements the sun compass

Nair Ferreira Barbosa da Costa, kindly called Voinha in the family, was married off at 14. She gave birth to thirteen children, had to leave her first four children behind, fled 1500 miles to escape an abusive marriage and later became a single mother. "I had the guts. If I decided to do something, I would just do it." Now, Agenda 2030 PhD student Iury Salustiano Trojaborg's interviews with her gr

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Making independent decisions about your body and your life is a big part of being a human being in Sweden today. Part of this is taking care of your sexual health and choosing whether and when to have children. In heterosexual relationships, this is a task that often falls on the person who can get pregnant. The ideal, according to new research, is different and involves an equal distribution of c

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

Är du kvinna mellan 30 och 44 år, född i Sverige, har hög utbildning och bor tillsammans med någon? Grattis, då är risken sex gånger lägre att du räknas som stillasittande än om du är en ensamboende, utlandsfödd man i samma ålder med förgymnasial utbildning. Exemplet är bara sant på gruppnivå. På individnivå finns det fler av dessa kvinnor än av dessa män som är stillasittande. Därför bör folkhäls

När hjärnan blir mindre känslig för insulin får det flera negativa hälsoeffekter, bland annat ökad aptit och med det risk för övervikt och typ 2-diabetes. Nu visar en mindre studie från forskare vid universitet i Tübingen, Tyskland, att två månaders träningsprogram för stillasittande överviktiga personer ökade hjärnans känslighet för insulin vilket gav positiva effekter för hälsan.
