När forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökte hur molekylen UM171 fungerar, en molekyl som används för att få blodstamceller att föröka sig, gjorde de en oväntad koppling. Resultaten ger nya insikter i hur en av de vanligaste elakartade hjärntumörerna hos barn i framtiden skulle kunna behandlas. UM171 är en syntetisk molekyl som utvecklats av forskare vid Université de Montréal. Inom stamcellsfors

När röda blodkroppar går sönder frigörs ett ämne, fritt hem, som kan bidra till kraftig inflammation och skada vävnader och kärl. Nu visar forskare vid Lunds universitet hur fritt hem kan sätta igång en kedjereaktion som driver på inflammationen – och hur den i experimentella modeller kan stoppas. Fynden kan ha betydelse vid en rad sjukdomar och tillstånd där röda blodkroppar bryts ned, exempelvis

Har skadeläget inom svensk damhockey förändrats sedan tacklingar infördes för fyra år sedan? Ja, tydligt. Det kan forskare vid Lunds universitet nu visa. På kort sikt nästan fördubblades antalet skador som anmälts till försäkringsbolag. 2022 blev tacklingar tillåtna i svensk damhockeys elitserie SDHL. Sverige var därmed först ut i världen med detta, och forskningen följs med stort intresse av andr

Nya biomarkörer gör det lättare att upptäcka Alzheimer och ställa rätt diagnos – något som blir allt viktigare när det nu finns behandlingar som kan bromsa sjukdomen. Inom MultiPark utvecklas också en AI-modell som i framtiden kan göra det möjligt att upptäcka flera demensrelaterade tillstånd med ett enda blodprov. Samtidigt försöker forskarna förstå hur demens kan förebyggas, bland annat genom at

Myt eller sanning? Om den fantastiskt snillrika människokroppen florerar ständigt en massa uppfattningar – och inte sällan myter. Johan Andersson, forskare och lärare vid Medicinska fakulteten Lunds universitet, stöter ofta på dessa föreställningar. Så ofta att han föreläst för såväl gymnasister som ute på bibliotek i folkbildande syfte. – En del föreställningar är mer av kuriosa – harmlösa. Men a

Nyligen publicerade resultat från Lunds universitet utmanar en vanlig föreställning om vad som ligger bakom trötthet hos tonårsflickor. Forskarna fann nämligen inget samband mellan järnbrist och trötthet, trots att järnbrist var mycket vanligt i gruppen. Däremot var rikliga menstruationer, att hoppa över måltider och daglig användning av nikotin kopplat till mer självrapporterad trötthet i gruppen

How do some people experience work as meaningful? Organisational researcher, Rachel Waldo at LUSEM, argues that one important answer has been largely overlooked: the brand itself. Based on 39 in-depth interviews with employees in different roles across luxury houses within LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), she shows that brands do more than attract customers. They can also shape how employees un
