Genom att studera vilka växtarter som borde finnas i ett lokalt ekosystem men som saknas – så kallad mörk biodiversitet – kan forskare få en tydligare bild av människans påverkan på naturen. En ny global studie visar att mänsklig aktivitet på stor geografisk skala påverkar den lokala artdiversiteten långt mer än man tidigare trott. I regioner med låg mänsklig påverkan innehåller de lokala ekosyste

I en ny nationell registerstudie från Lunds universitet har forskare studerat kopplingen mellan prostatacancer och infertilitet. Studien som publiceras i the British Medical Journal omfattar över en miljon svenska män. – Män som söker sjukvård för barnlöshet och assisterad befruktning visade sig ha högre risk för pr

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

Så många som 38 procent av alla gymnasietjejer hade järnbrist och risken var särskilt hög bland de som följde en vegetarisk eller pescetarisk kost. Det visar en ny studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Järn är ett livsviktigt näringsämne, och brist kan leda till trötthet, nedsatt koncentration och i värsta fall blodbrist. Nu visar en studie att fler än var tredje gymnasietjej lider av jär

Nya resultat från en stor registerstudie visar på ett tydligt samband mellan urinvägsinfektion (UVI) hos personer över 50 och olika slags urinvägs- och gynekologisk cancer. - Resultaten tyder på att urinvägsinfektion i denna åldersgrupp kan vara en indikation för cancer, säger Filip Jansåker, men understryker att de allra flesta som drabbas av infektionen inte har cancer. UVI är en väldigt vanlig

Sexvärt krom är ett starkt cancerframkallande ämne som kan användas vid tillverkning av till exempel färg och rostskydd samt ytbehandling av metallprodukter. Det kan också frisättas vid tillverkning av eller svetsning i rostfritt stål. I Sverige exponeras ungefär 18 000 arbetare för sexvärt krom på sin arbetsplats. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu gjort en kartläggning av de risker som arbets

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst
