Is it possible to convert a patient’s own skin cells into functioning nerve cells? Or insert healthy genes to reprogram the cells of a damaged brain? Stem cell researcher Malin Parmar at Lund University in Sweden is studying these types of issues, in close collaboration with clinical researchers. She is now awarded a prize of SEK 100 000 from the Eric K. Fernström Foundation for her work. Every ye

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perform surgery. But, of course, this is not enough. A major change is needed. “Even if

Uteupplevelser har trendat så här i coronatider, när familjemedlemmar ska rastas och social distansering samtidigt tillämpas. Varför inte bota din eller barnens artblindhet när ni ändå är ute? All forskning visar att ju mer man vet om naturen, desto mer villig är man att värna den. Här kommer tips på tio vanliga – och de flesta även ätbara – växter att leta efter, i staden eller på skogsutflykten.

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en klinisk studie hur kvinnans genprofil ger svar om vilken hormonbehandling som är mest effektiv vid in vitrofertilisering (IVF), i dagligt tal kallat provrörsbefruktning. Nu har forskarna utvecklat ett enkelt svabbtest för provtagning i munnen som visar vilken hormonbehandling som är bästa alternativet vid IVF-behandling. Ungefär 15 procent av alla par i fe

De flesta kvinnor kommer någon gång under sitt yrkesliv att befinna sig i klimakteriet. Hur kan en arbetsplats riggas för att underlätta för anställda i övergångsåldern? Ett pilotprojekt vid Lunds universitet undersöker frågan. Svettningar, humörsvängningar och dålig sömn. Många kvinnor lider av att vara i klimakteriet. Enligt en studie från 2021 publicerad av Socialstyrelsen har 60 procent måttli

Avhandling: Vi vet nu att utvecklingen av typ 1 diabetes startar långt innan några symtom visar sig. I flertalet fall kan tecken i blodet ses åtskilliga år tidigare, inte sällan så tidigt som innan 1 års ålder. Men det finns i nuläget inte något känt sätt att förhindra eller stoppa processen, skriver Markus Lundgren i sin avhandling. Typ 1 diabetes är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna som d

At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and dangerous the plaques really are. "On the one hand it’s important to find out wheth

In type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells are unable to assimilate the essential hormone insulin which is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas. Exactly what is wrong with the beta cells in type 2 diabetes is the question to which Professor Erik Renström at Lund University Diabetes Centre is searching for an answer. After just over twenty years of successful research in the field, he is now being

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on radiation exposure. This has been shown by a new thesis from Lund University in Swe

Two therapy dogs instead of one. There was a big turnout on May 5 when the pop-up event "Mental Health on Campus" was held in the Forum Medicum entrance. The goal was to give students a chance to share their thoughts on mental health. Either on a digital bulletin board or post-it notes on-site. Two therapy dog teams visited the event. Carina Tjörnstrand, PhD in Occupational Therapy, came with the

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu
