(DIABETES) After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy, a rapidly developing field within cancer research, among other areas. The aim is to accelerate work on new immunotherapies and develop joint strategies to translate research into patient benefit. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to figh

Gabriel Börner preferred playing pinball to studying at upper secondary school and therefore failed to get into a medical programme. Today, he is a senior consultant in surgery at Helsingborg Hospital and a researcher at Lund University. He has invented a “sewing machine” to suture patient’s wounds after abdominal surgery. Although the journey there was longer than he could ever have imagined, he

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. His ambition is to awaken our longing for a life which doesn’t revolve around wage labour. “If I had a citizen’s salary, I would do the same things I do now – read, write and have an occasional go with a scrubbing-brush, to make life more real. Others might play computer games, which would of course be perfectly OK”,

Carin Alegre Castegren When entering the lower gallery (KHM1) of Malmö Art Academy to see the MFA exhibition entitled “Tremeluz” by Carin Maria Alegre Castegren, I was met by numerous paintings, which all seemed to be in a state of flux. They had a lightness to them, an openness as well as something allusive. When reading the exhibition text, it was clear that Castegren had been thinking of light
