Ödemet kan ibland vara svårbehandlat med traditionella metoder. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet ger ytterligare belägg för att operation med fettsugning är en väl fungerande metod som främjar livskvaliteten. Varje år får omkring 9 000 kvin

Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Ibland förändras maktbalansen mellan världens stormakter mitt framför ögonen på oss – som när muren föll för 30 år sedan eller som de senaste veckorna när USA drog sig bort från i de kurdiska områdena i Syrien. Ibland sker förändringarna så långsamt att vi inte märker det. Under Framtidsveckan lät vi fem experter –

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New Lund students are generally younger and have better educated parents than the average Swedish student. This emerges from the figures in a new LU report. Despite a series of initiatives to attract more students from non-academic backgrounds in recent decades, there is little progress. Now a major regional approach

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

Cyberattacks against the University have sharply increased over the past two years. They mainly take the form of email attacks, known as phishing, which aim to penetrate and take over entire IT environments. The attacks often succeed. Lund University is no different from the crowd.

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research.

Idag saknas evidens för många av de preventiva metoder som används för att minska förlossningsbristningar.
