Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that the protein COMP, which mainly exists in cartilage, can also be found in breast cancer tumours in patients with a poor prognosis. Studies on mice also showed that COMP contributed to the development and metastasis of the breast cancer. COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein) is a protein that so far has mainly been studied in cartilage tissue,

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least

“Relapse of the condition is more common following the new treatment method using keyhole surgery, which for one-third of patients will lead to planned bowel operations. However, far fewer patients require ostomies,” says Pamela Buchwald, associate professor at Lund University and senior physician at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, who led the study from Malmö.

The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. When this gas suddenly collapses under its own weight, new stars are able to arise

Industrial policy is seeing a revival, but it does hardly address Circular Economy. New research from IIIEE, published in Sustainable Production and Consumption, shows how the necessary circular transition in industry can be supported by new types of industrial policies.
