Risken att insjukna i fler än ett hudmelanom under en tioårsperiod har ökat tiofaldigt i Sverige sedan 1960-talet. Det visar en ny studie av forskare vid Karolinska Institutet och Lunds universitet som publiceras i Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Den stadiga ökningen tros bero på förändrade semestervanor med mera aktivt solbadande och utlandsresor till sydliga breddgrader. – Det finns må

Forskare inom neurologi och stamceller vid Lunds universitet i Sverige har utvecklat en forskningmodell som gör det möjligt att studera mänskliga nervceller från hippocampus. Det är dessa hjärnceller som främst drabbas av sjukdom vid Alzheimers sjukdom. Studien har publicerats i tidskriften Stem Cell Reports. Vid Alzheimers sjukdom påverkas hippocampus, som är en struktur i hjärnan som reglerar mo

När det gäller kriminalvärldens ouppklarade brott används ofta ny DNA-teknik för att lösa gamla fall. Så är det också med blodgåtornas ”cold cases”, där man genom att jämföra olika patientprover med varandra ser proteinmönster och DNA-ledtrådar som till slut kan resultera i nya blodgrupper. Nyligen löstes ett nästan trettioårigt blodmysterium, genom ett samarbete mellan Lunds universitet, Region S

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en ny metod för att behandla alla humana herpesvirus. Den nya bredspektrum-metoden riktar sig mot fysikaliska egenskaper i virusets arvsmassa i stället för som i tidigare behandlingsmetoder, mot virala proteiner. Behandlingen består av nya molekyler som penetrerar virusets proteinhölje och hindrar generna från att lämna viruset för att infektera cellen. Det unika med

Alzheimers sjukdom är svårdiagnosticerad vilket kan försvåra möjligheten att ge bästa möjliga behandling och vård. I en internationell studie som nu publiceras i den ansedda tidskriften JAMA beskriver forskare ett nytt blodprov som upptäcker Alzheimers sjukdom redan innan de första symtomen utvecklats och har samma tillförlitlighet som dyra, komplicerade och mer svårtillgängliga metoder. Forskarna

Malin Espersson has been conducting ongoing research into how municipalities work with gender mainstreaming. The results show a lack of commitment from management and politicians, with a risk that the work will become symbolic rather than contributing to change.
