Fredagkväll i Lund och strax ska Mikael Dolsten, hyllad forskningschef och gästprofessor i farmakologi vid Medicinska fakulteten, berätta den osannolika, men sanna, historien om hur det gick till när hans företag på nio månader tog fram ett av de vaccin som kan frälsa oss från pandemin. Det borde tagit nio år, om de
Fredrik Nilsson successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on May 10, 2023. For the last four years, Fredrik has explored the use of patient-specific cells in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease to identify strategies to safeguard these transplanted cells from disease-related degeneration. In this interview, he tells us about his findings, their potential implications for future therapies
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. USV is the umbrella term for the University’s specialised centres which are gradually moving into the faculties. But the process is not painless – the specialised centres are keen to safeguard their identities and their low overhead costs. The faculties and departments, on the other hand, do not want to take on financ

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new COVID-19 antibody test developed by scientists at Lund University in Sweden has shown robust performance upon clinical validation and application. The test detects antibodies in the blood targeting the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, and determines in just 15 minutes whether a person has had COVID-19, regardless of

B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations.

Ett illamående med stark huvudvärk i ett kvavt Uganda blev upprinnelsen till boken ”Hetta” som Izabella Rosengren kom ut med strax före sommaren. – När sedan en brittisk journalist fick värmeslag på samma plats och dog förstod jag allvaret och att hettan inte är något att leka med, säger hon.

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense

Worldwide, coastal river deltas are home to more than half a billion people, supporting fisheries, agriculture, cities, and fertile ecosystems. In a unique study covering 49 deltas globally, researchers from LUCSUS and Utrecht University have identified the most critical risks to deltas in the future. The research shows that deltas face multiple risks, and that population growth and poor environme
