Den 13 februari genomfördes den första stamcellstransplantationen i studien STEM-PD. Det är den första av åtta patienter med Parkinsons sjukdom som får nya dopaminproducerande stamceller transplanterade och det är första gången cellerna testas kliniskt i patienter. Transplantationen genomfördes vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och produkten som transplanterades har utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds u

Näst efter klimatförändringarna, är förlusten av biologisk mångfald den största miljöutmaning som världen står inför. Förlusten av växt- och djurarter innebär också en förlust av de resurser som människan får av en fungerande natur. Vid Lunds universitet pågår ett projekt där man tittar på hur man arbetar med så kal

Alltmer forskning ger stöd för att diabetes kan delas in i fem olika undergrupper. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu undersökt om en persons genetiska risk för olika undergrupper kan användas för att bedöma risken att utveckla kranskärlssjukdom. Forskarlaget utvecklade genetiska riskpoäng och fann att poängen för en undergrupp kunde förutsäga kranskärlssjukdom redan innan en diabetesdiagnos ha

Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA.
