A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

En tvåstegsmetod för att skilja godartade äggstocksförändringar från elakartad äggstockscancer har nu validerats på nästan 5000 patienter. Med hjälp av ultraljud och matematiska modeller, får läkaren hjälp att dela in patienterna i olika riskgrupper med förslag på åtgärder beroende på riskgrupp och prognos. Detta är ett stort steg framåt mot optimal vård av patienter med äggstockstumörer. Studien

By analysing small microvesicles that cells release to communicate with their surroundings in the blood, researchers at Lund University map what happens in the brains of stroke patients. The study published in the scientific journal Stroke expands our understanding of stroke and opens doors to new treatment strategies.
