Det är det äldsta och fortfarande vanligaste medlet. Nu visar amerikanska forskare att metformin även under många år kan förhindra att sjukdomen bryter ut hos patienter med hög risk att insjukna. Det är den stora och långvariga studie

Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet. Cancer sprider sig inte slu

I mer än sex år har processen pågått för att EU ska godkänna ett flerårigt och miljövänligt sädesslag med potential att förändra Europas jordbruk i grunden. Att det drar ut på tiden beror på ett förlegat regelverk som behöver ändras, menar forskare. Kernza är ett perennt spannmål med meterlånga rötter som är bra för både miljön och klimatet. Spannmålet, med vete som närmaste släkting, är godkänt i

Valutan har förlorat stort i värde och människors besparingar har ätits upp. Krisen i landet utspelas även på det politiska och sociala planet. Trots detta fortsätter den korrupta eliten att styra landet, utan att straffas för sina missgärningar

Shovels, brushes and dusty excavations sites? For many people this is what comes to mind when they think of archeology. But the field has developed at an unprecedented pace during the last few decades, and now includes tools and methods such as 3D modelling, spatial analysis and even laser cameras mounted on drones. Nicolo Dell'Unto, researcher at Lund University, is part of a growing number of ar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Shorter wound healing time, fewer dressing changes and the opportunity for earlier discharge from the hospital. These are some of the benefits of negative pressure wound therapy to treat wound infections in connection with vascular surgery at the groin.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For nearly nine years, researchers at Lund University have been working on developing implantable electrodes that can capture signals from single neurons in the brain over a long period of time - without causing brain tissue damage. They are now one big step closer to reaching this goal, and the results are published

Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca
