Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj
