Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. The childhood cancer, neuroblastoma

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nerv

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ

For six months, artist Jennifer Rainsford will be exploring MAX IV – one of the world’s largest research laboratories for synchrotron light. Inside the ring-shaped MAX IV building on the outskirts of Lund, extremely intense X-ray light known as synchrotron light is produced. The light, which is not visible to the naked eye, is used by researchers from around the globe to study materials, molecules

A myriad of colours that survived millions of years of evolution have disappeared in a short period of time. The culprit? A bright green, aggressive, and sexually dominant wall lizard that has wiped out several colour variants within its species. Many animal species display clearly defined colour variants, or colour morphs. These are not just superficial differences, but are often linked to differ

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec
