Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that usually requires lifelong treatment. A central goal for many diabetes researchers is to develop new cell therapies that can cure the disease. The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation now provides support two diabetes researchers at Lund University working to learn more about diabetes. Among them is Associate Professor Isabella Artner, from the Lund Uni

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po

Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this step toward the future development of patient-tailored, personalized models of bone cancers and tumors. On average, the adult body consists of 206 bones. Housed in the center

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs. Paul Bourgine is

Researcher Emma Hammarlund realized that geological measurement methods can also be used for medical purposes. With a simple hair sample, she hopes to find cancer at an early stage. First in the study are prostate cancer and breast cancer. Now her project has been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) 100 list. The list also includes eight other research projects fr

Urbanisering och ett varmare klimat gör att allt fler vill bada i kanaler, hamnar och vid stadsnära stränder som kan vara i närheten av där avloppsvatten och dagvatten släpps ut. En ny metod som testats i Helsingborg och Malmö kan ge både snabbare och mer komplett svar på om doppet är säkert eller ej.

Ett fingeravtryck har hittats i den tjära som användes för att bygga den äldsta kända träplankbåten i Skandinavien, vilket ger en direkt koppling till de sjöfarande plundrare som använde båten för över 2 000 år sedan. Genom att analysera själva tjäran är forskare vid Lunds universitet närmare att lösa det långvariga mysteriet om varifrån angriparna kom. Under 300-talet f.Kr. attackerade en armada
