Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A changing climate means that citizens will have to take more action to safeguard their lives and property from extreme weather events. At the same time, there are great differences in people’s capacities and resources to do so. In a new PhD dissertation from LUCSUS, researcher Ebba Brink asserts that it is about time

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

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

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t
