One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Novo Nordisk, are starting a new stem cell program for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in close collaboration with Lund University. Over the last ten years, Professor Malin Parmar and her research team at the Biomedical Centre in Lund have conducted successful, clinically relevant, basic and translational research on Parkinson’s disease. Th
With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total land area that the countries of the world have included in their individual plans for climate action, known as nationally determined contributions. The results show a big divide between the countries' expected land use and the actual potential of land to mitigate climate change. “By totalling the aggregate land area

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

The Storsjöodjuret, a mythical cryptid* with its roots in Jämtland, was mentioned for the first time as early as the year 1643 and is now being brought up to date again in a new doctoral thesis in human ecology. In the thesis, the author Sanna Händén-Svensson examines how perspectives such as social, cultural, historical and the local affect the shaping of the Storsjöodjuret. The aim of the study

Brasiliens högsta domstol har i ett historiskt beslut röstat ner jordbrukslobbyns försök att begränsa ursprungsbefolkningens markrättigheter. Hållbarhetsforskaren Torsten Krause är försiktigt optimistisk till beslutet, som han menar är positivt för både mänskliga rättigheter och biologisk mångfald, men befarar att det kan medföra att avskogning och gruvdrift ökar i Brasiliens grannländer. – Det är
