Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Många patienter med akut bröstsmärta blir inlagda på vårdavdelning – trots att bara en bråkdel av dem behöver akut, högspecialiserad hjärtsjukvård. Forskaren och akutläkaren Tsvetelina Nilsson har i sitt avhandlingsarbete undersökt hur dessa patienter – på ett säkert sätt – snabbare kan bedömas. I snitt kan nästan hälften av de som söker för akut bröstsmärta tryggt skickas hem – redan efter någon

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

​​​​​​​Did you know that about 70% of rare diseases begin in childhood? How about that 1 in 5 cancers are considered a rare disease? Or that nearly three-quarters of all rare diseases are genetic diseases? With more than 6,000 rare diseases known to impact the lives of an estimated 300 million people around the world – rare diseases are all too common. Limited knowledge of these diseases often res

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Reprogramming Cancer Cells into Immune Cells Earlier research by the team showed that three special

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. RQ20, the new major research quality evaluation, is underway! It is based on self-evaluations and will involve around 5 000 members of staff. In contrast to the last time, in 2008, there is no extra money for the fields of research that come out best. There will be no grades or gold stars. “However, the evaluation wil

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu
