Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman’s genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are inv

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

An increasing number of Swedes are getting tattoos and Sweden’s population is now one of the most tattooed in Europe. At the same time, the incidence of melanoma is increasing. A new epidemiological study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma.

A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicentre study led by researchers at Lund University that has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Worldwide, around four million people each year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. “This will transform c

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In brief:Why promising cell and gene therapies fail to reach implementation

Lotta Gränse, ophthalmologist and researcher Lund University and Skåne University Hospital has demonstrated that eye drops containing cortisone can prevent the development of the very serious eye disease ROP in infants. This has revolutionised treatment and means that the majority of children in Sweden’s Southern Healthcare Region with severe ROP do not need conventional treatment under anaesthesi

When the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people – but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny “fat droplets”, the vaccines could never have been delivered into the body’s cells. And the fact is that these small particles will probably have more assignments in the future. It co

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t
