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

Istället för att vara ledig från jobbet som forskningssjuksköterska i POInT-studien, fick hon rycka in och förstärka en covidavdelning på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Malmö.   Under sex veckor var Caroline Nilsson och två andra kollegor från forskningsav

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

Internationella kvinnodagen vid Lunds universitet uppmärksammades med en halvdag på temat ”150 år med kvinnor i akademin – föregångare, förebilder, utmaningar.” Intresset var stort och LUX-aulan fylldes snabbt av kvinnor och några män från universitetet och utanför. Vicerektor Anki Wallengren hälsade alla välkomna till 150-års-firandet av att kvinnor tilläts studera vid högre utbildning i Sverige.

En svensk multicenterstudie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar ett samband mellan låg fiberkonsumtion och förekomst av instabila högriskplack i kranskärlen, sådana som kan utlösa propp och orsaka hjärtinfarkt. Studien kopplar också kostmönstret till plackens sammansättning, alltså hur potentiellt farliga de är. Forskarna har med hjälp av avancerad hjärtavbildning, datortomografi, undersö

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices.

Linnéa Jönsson and Patrik Nilsson were two of the PhD students who seized the opportunity to have a research visit financed by NanoLund last year. This is a support that NanoLundians – PhD students as well as senior scientists – can apply for at any time. “Do it! You have to take the opportunity to do something like this if you get the chance,” says Linnéa Jönsson. As a researcher at NanoLund, you
