Många kvinnor är oförberedda på de obehag som klimakteriet ofta för med sig. Samtidigt är svensk klimakterievård otillräcklig – och ojämnt fördelad över landet. Barnmorskan Pernilla Ny, lärare och forskare vid Lunds universitet, sprider sin evidensbaserade kunskap så långt hon förmår. Hennes klimakteriekurs har sju gånger så många sökande som det finns platser. Klimakteriet, menopaus och kvinnors

För att ta extremt högupplösta mikroskopbilder på exempelvis celler måste man veta exakt var man ska rikta mikroskopet så att man avbildar just det man är intresserad av. Inte så lätt när det man letar efter är levande biologiskt material såsom interagerande celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat en mjukvarumetod för smart, datadriven mikroskopi, som gör detta möjligt. Forskningen public

Att diagnostisera epilepsi är resurskrävande och det finns risk att sjukdomen förväxlas med andra tillstånd med liknande symptom. Det gör det angeläget att hitta bättre diagnosmetoder redan när en patient kommer in på akuten efter ett misstänkt anfall. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet har i kliniska studier upptäckt en biomarkör, ett protein som var förhöjt både före, under och efter ett epi

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information

Cancerforskaren Thoas Fioretos och neuroforskaren Oskar Hansson utsågs 2018 till Wallenberg Clinical Scholars – en satsning av Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse för att stötta landets främsta kliniska forskare. Nu får de båda forskarna förlängt anslag med 3 miljoner kronor vardera per år under ytterligare fem år. Thoas Fioretos är överläkare och professor i klinisk genetik. Han forskar på leuke

En vanlig tarmbakterie vi alla bär på gynnas när tarmfloran slås ut av en antibiotikabehandling. Eftersom bakterien är resistent och smittsam orsakar den problem, särskilt inom sjukvården. Nu visar en studie ledd från Lunds universitet vilka mekanismer som samverkar för att göra bakterien resistent. – Med den här kunskapen hoppas vi kunna designa ännu bättre läkemedel, säger Vasili Hauryliuk, univ

Researchers at Lund University 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 of each, is bone marrow, t

Throughout history and across the globe, individuals have been forced to flee conflicts, natural disasters and political oppression. An experience of trauma and new horizons that is at once both collective and individual. Researchers at Lund University have developed digital tools that facilitate deeper contact between local communities and forced migrants. The tools can be used by museums and cul

Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and aerodynamic efficiency of flapping drones. Even the precursors to birds – extinct bird-like dinosaurs – benefited from folding their wings during the upstroke, as they develope

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th

For e-commerce companies, it is cheaper to throw away returned items rather than selling them again. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden interviewed members of the textile and electronics industries in Europe, hoping to better understand a problem that is snowballing, yet has been the subject of little research. Internet shopping is increasingly commonplace, and with it comes

Only males among the fish species crucian carp have developed a strategy to protect themselves from hungry predators, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The explanation could lie in that the surrounding environment affects the stress system in males and females differently. Some animals have evolved the ability to swiftly change appearance to defend themselves against predato

Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers evaluated the national ‘Operation: Save the Bees’ campaign, and their results indicate that what private individuals do in their gardens really can make a positive difference.

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

Since antiquity, humans have been fascinated by birds’ intercontinental migratory journeys. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that two areas in their genome decide whether a willow warbler flies across the Iberian Peninsula to western Africa, or across the Balkans to eastern and southern Africa. Researchers have long known that the behaviour that causes songbirds to migrate in a spe
