Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The
It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap

I en nyligen publicerad översiktsartikel från Lunds universitet, har forskare analyserat förekomsten av kejsarsnitt i olika europeiska länder. Resultaten visar att privata sjukhus i flera länder har en högre andel kejsarsnitt än offentliga sjukhus, även bland kvinnor i lågriskgrupper. Kejsarsnittsfrekvensen varierade från cirka 17 procent i norra Europa till över 50 procent i södra Europa. Kejsars
