However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted b

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

The idea behind procurement is to guarantee the right product or service at the right price. But what happens when public procurements are consciously structured to avoid appeals – or are simply discontinued early? Fredrik Tesch-Morawetz’s doctoral thesis in business law examines these issues and has been commended by the Lund University School of Economics and Management as the faculty’s best the

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Diabetessjukdomarna har haft många namn. Från de som fanns innan insulinbehandling introducerades, sjukdomen beskrevs då som en mild form, en svårartad och en farlig till dagens mångfald av olika diabetessjukdomar. Den alltmer brokiga bilden är ett resultat av de växande insikterna om orsaken till sjukdomen och om v

Det finns en tydlig önskan i samhället att återvinna mer, både näringsämnen och olika material. Men problemet med recycling är att föroreningar kan följa med. I ett projekt på CEC har man identifierat mikroplaster i både kompostjord och biogödsel. På Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC) pågår tre olika projekt där man undersöker olika återvunna produkter och material för att se om de inneh
