Grattis till Karin Tran-Lundmark som tilldelas Prins Daniels anslag för yngre lovande forskare 2023 på sex miljoner kronor för sin forskning om Pulmonell hypertension (PH). Det är en obotlig hjärt-lungsjukdom med ett förhöjt blodtryck i lungans blodkärl som på sikt skadar hjärtat. - Jag ser i mitt kliniska arbete med barn hur mycket lidande pulmonell hypertension orsakar. Vägen till ett nytt läkem

I en studie ledd från Lunds universitet kan forskarna för första gången visa att traumatiska hjärnskador aktiverar vilande endogena retrovirus som under årmiljonernas gång infogats i människans DNA. Att dessa aktiveras kan vara drivande för att starta en inflammation som förvärrar hjärnskadan. Studien är publicerad i Cell Reports. Vid ett skalltrauma uppstår skador på hjärnvävnaden och ofta en kro

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Tror du att stress håller dig på tårna och hjälper dig att prestera bättre? Nya forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet tyder på att så inte är fallet – i alla fall inte om stressen inte är relaterat till prestationsmomentet. Det vetenskapliga experimentet genomfördes bland 23 unga svenska manliga elitsimmare. De

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified a new layer of gene regulation mediated by changes in ribonucleic acid metabolism downstream of major oncogenes. This study, published now in the Molecular Cell journal, explains aggressive clinical features observed in triple negative breast cancers. A collab

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new, efficient method based on the genetic scissors CRISPR-Cas9, that facilitates antibody development. The discovery is published in Nature Communica

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The fight against COVID-19 continues. In Lund, researchers are working to identify a compound that could be used to prevent viral infection, and thus save lives. “This model that has been developed with our collaborators will fill an important gap for current and future drug screening efforts for the upper or lower ai
