Personer med typ 2-diabetes har ökad risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar och förtida död till följd av åderförfettning och forskare söker efter förklaringar till detta. Ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet har nu identifierat molekylära mekanismer som kan förklara den ökade risken. Deras upptäckt kan leda till mer träffsäkra behandlingar mot åderförfettning i samband med typ 2-diabetes Individer med typ

Som första land i världen tillåter Sverige sedan 2022 tacklingar inom damhockey. Stora hockeynationer följer nu spänt Lunds universitets forskning om konsekvenserna av hårdare tag i rinken. En första studie visar nu att nästan nio av tio spelare i Svenska damhockeyligan är positiva till tacklingar – oavsett kroppsstorlek. – Det tyckte vi var intressant att se. Spannet i kroppsstorlek mellan de spe

Affektanfall är vanliga hos små barn och är ofarliga. Ändå genomgår barn ofta omotiverade undersökningar när de söker sjukvård. Anledningen är att det saknas både nationella och internationella riktlinjer hur dessa barn ska utredas. Nu har ett forskarteam på Lunds universitet lagt fram förslag på riktlinjer, för att barnen ska få färre akuta och oplanerade sjukvårdskontakter och i stället ett mer

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ofrivillig barnlöshet är ett växande problem och

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making. This year, Johan Axhamn, senior lecturer in Business Law here at LUSEM, was the sole representative from Lund Univ

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

There were no differences in quality of life, symptoms, hospital admissions or mortality between a group of patients with pulmonary disease and low oxygen levels in the blood that received oxygen therapy at home for 24 hours a day, and a group that received the same therapy for 15 hours a day, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. “This has considerable significance for patients wit

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In
