Ett forskarteam vid Lunds universitet har hittat en viss typ av celler - skumceller - hos patienter med den aggressiva hjärntumören glioblastom. Man har sett hur dessa celler påskyndar cancerns tillväxt och lyckats hämma denna med hjälp av ett läkemedel som utvecklats för åderförfettning. Glioblastom drabbar runt 500 svenskar varje år och utgör den vanligaste och mest aggressiva formen av hjärntum

Överraskande många undersköterskor inom den palliativa vården är positiva till eutanasi, alltså dödshjälp som sker genom att någon annan än patienten utför den avgörande handling som leder till patientens död. Däremot var få av läkarna inom den palliativa vården positivt inställda. Det visar en enkätstudie som genomförts av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Debatten om en legalisering av dödshjälp,

Nu när det lackar mot jul går tankarna osökt till den havande Maria i stallet. Men hon är inte ensam som galjonsfigur för livgiveri utan inblandning av det motsatta könet. I djurvärlden finns det gott om arter som hänger sig åt obefläckad avlelse. Det som vi kallar för jungfrufödsel innebär att ett obefruktat ägg kan utvecklas till en ny individ. Den tekniska termen för detta fortplantningstroller

Genom att injicera en lösning av nanopartiklar runt hjärtat självmonteras en tillfällig hjärtstimulator, som med hjälp av extern spänningskälla kan korrigera hjärtarytmi vid akutlägen. Efter behandling försvinner elektroden spontant från kroppen. Studien är gjord på djur. Arytmi innebär att det uppstår störningar i hjärtats elektriska signaler och att det slår för snabbt, för långsamt eller oregel

När forskningsanläggningen MAX IV släpper sin årsrapport står det klart att 2023 blir det mest produktiva året hittills. Både antalet forskare som använt anläggningen och antalet publicerade artiklar har ökat. – Utöver intresset från akademin ser vi ett stort intresse från industrin för avancerad materialforskning som ett led i att påskynda den gröna omställningen, säger Olof "Charlie" Karis, dire

Rektor beslutade 2022 om fem forskningsområden som ska vara universitetets profilområden fram till 2030. Förhoppningen då var att regeringen snabbt skulle sjösätta planerna på att profilera landets lärosäten och skjuta till mångmiljonbelopp. Men regeringsskiftet hösten 2022 innebar istället utredning och analys och fortfarande är det oklart om den nationella satsningen blir verklighet.
