Genom att omprogrammera cancerceller till immunförsvarets dendritceller, utvecklar forskare vid Lunds universitet ett nytt behandlingskoncept mot cancer. I ett internationellt samarbete har konceptet framgångsrikt testats på celler från sju olika cancerformer och verifierats i möss. Det handlar om att med rätt medel ”tvinga” cancerceller att utvecklas till celler som ingår i immunförsvaret. Med hj

När barn som nyligen insjuknat i typ 1 diabetes behandlades med Enbrel, ett läkemedel som används vid till exempel reumatoid artrit, återfick de en del av den så viktiga egna insulinproduktionen. Läkemedlet Enbrel är en så kallad TNF-hämmare som används vid reumatoid artrit, psoriasisartrit och andra autoimmuna sjukdomar.TNF-alfa är ett ämne i kroppen som är inblandat i inflammatoriska processer.E

As the year draws to a close, we look back on a selection of activities, results, and achievements at LUSEM and across Lund University. How often do you get to be the best in the world at something? Even more meaningful when it's for leading the way in sustainability — as Lund University was recently ranked #1 globally by QS.There we can probably leave the broader LU perspective behind and focus s

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to

Efter mer än ett decennium av stiltje har njurforskningen fått ett lyft. Nya läkemedel och biomarkörer gör det möjligt att upptäcka och bromsa sjukdomsförlopp tidigare – något som länge verkade ouppnåeligt. Och det här kommer att påverka personer med diabetes, där njurskada är en allvarlig långtidskomplikation. – Vi står inför en ny era. Det som sker nu liknar det som skedde inom hjärt- kärlsjukvå
