Hur vi känner inför naturen påverkar vilka trädgårdsinsatser vi väljer och hur mycket de faktiskt hjälper pollinatörer. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet blir sambandet extra tydligt mot bakgrund av samhällets omfattande urbanisering, där både gröna ytor och människors praktiska naturkontakt minskar. Forskarna visar också att trädgårdar blir mest värdefulla när långlivade planteringar priorite

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en mekanism som hjälper akut myeloisk leukemi-celler att undgå kroppens immunförsvar. Genom att utveckla en antikropp som blockerar mekanismen kunde forskarna återställa immunförsvarets förmåga att döda cancercellerna i laboratorieförsök och i möss. Upptäckten publiceras i Nature Cancer. Studien i korthet:I studien visas hur en nyupptäckt mekanism

Renewable and affordable energy is key for societal and economic growth, and for achieving national and global climate goals. Research from LUCSUS is mapping the energy transition in Nepal and has identified how increasing energy access is closely linked to a new political awakening in the country.  "Nepal is a very interesting case study since it has been held up as a case for how a country can t

Ett nytt behandlingsalternativ för patienter med den komplexa tumörsjukdomen mantelcellslymfom, ger längre tid till återfall och färre biverkningar. Det visar en ny forskningsstudie från Lunds och Uppsala universitet. Resultaten är så lovande att det nya behandlingsalternativet redan implementerats i de nyligen publicerade riktlinjerna från European Society for Medical Oncology. Mantelcellslymfom

I en studie från förra året visade en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet att gravida kvinnor med preeklampsi har en tydlig obalans i sin tarmflora jämfört med friska gravida. Nu startar forskargruppen en ny klinisk studie för att undersöka om probiotika kan ha en positiv inverkan på tillståndet. Preeklampsi, eller havandeskapsförgiftning, är en av de allvarligaste komplikationerna under graviditet

Trots banbrytande forskning når många cell- och genterapier inte hela vägen till patienterna. Forskare och kliniker i Lund presenterar nu en ny samarbetsmodell som ska korta ledtider och minska kostnader – med målet att ge fler tillgång till avancerade, potentiellt botande behandlingar. Detta är en gemensam nyhet från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus.I korthet:Varför lovande cell-

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply.   Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
