Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

Att tvingas bli inlagd på akutmottagningen och vänta på att få komma till en vårdavdelning är som att befinna sig i limbo, i ett ingenmansland, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. – Många vittnar om att de känner sig ensamma, utsatta och övergivna, säger Andreas Rantala som själv i sin roll som ambulanssjuksk

Darknet är en plats som ofta framställs som kriminell, laglös och i behov av extern kontroll. I en ny avhandling visar sociologen Tove Westberg i stället hur kryptoforum på Darknet fungerar som komplexa sociala gemenskaper, präglade av normer, förtroende och informell social kontroll. I dag, fredag den 10 april 2026, försvarade Tove Westberg framgångsrikt sin doktorsavhandling i sociologi vid Lund

Anledningen var att vården och behandlingen kommer för sent i sjukdomsprocessen, många hade redan komplikationer innan de fick diagnosen. Nu visar ny forskning från Norge att risken för hjärt- kärlsjukdom ökar även vid enb

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new link between gut bacteria and obesity. They found that certain amino acids in our blood can be connected to both obesity and the composition of the gut microbiome. We know less about the significance of our gut bacteria than what many books and magazines on the subject seem to suggest. A lot of the research on the topic is based on ani
