Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c

We all know that when it burns, it smokes. But what do we really know about the contents of that smoke and how it is affected by different fire processes? Not only that, but how do these smoke particles affect the emergency personnel who are first on the scene? Researchers at NanoLund and LTH, in a unique experiment with the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), have conducted measurements to

Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling. We would like to have an electric car, solar cells on our roof or the latest mod

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a

Carmelo D’Agostino, a researcher in traffic safety and behaviour, and stem cell researcher Paul Bourgine receive ERC Proof of Concept grants for their research into developing a new method for traffic safety assessments and finding new accurate models for testing immunotherapies in cancer treatment. The European Research Council's Proof of Concept is awarded to researchers to investigate the comme

In a new research article, PhD student Kelly Dorkenoo, together with researcher Murray Scown, and Director Emily Boyd, examines disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change. She argues that disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change is fundamentally about equity and justice, but while it is central in L&D policy, it has been treated implicitly in research. What are the

These are busy times for atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier. Earlier this year, she received the prestigious Wolf Prize – perhaps not as widely known among the general public, but within the field of physics it is considered second only to the Nobel Prize. Anne L’Huillier was honoured for her contribution to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics. “I haven’t really taken it all in yet. I hav

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a digital cognitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease that is intended for use in primary care. “This digital test, which patients perform on their own with minimal involvement from healthcare personnel, improves the primary care physician's ability to determine who should be further examined by blood tests for Alzheimer's pathology ear

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

Earlier this fall, the Swedish Cancer Foundation (Cancerfonden) distributed 133 million SEK to 41 cancer researchers at Lund University. Nearly a quarter of this - 28 million SEK - has been awarded to 11 researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center, funding translational research which seeks to advance cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Isabella Artner, Associate Professor, is among the 11 res

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovi
