Sexvärt krom är ett starkt cancerframkallande ämne som kan användas vid tillverkning av till exempel färg och rostskydd samt ytbehandling av metallprodukter. Det kan också frisättas vid tillverkning av eller svetsning i rostfritt stål. I Sverige exponeras ungefär 18 000 arbetare för sexvärt krom på sin arbetsplats. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu gjort en kartläggning av de risker som arbets

Hur kan inflammation hänga ihop med depression? Nya forskningsfynd visar att depression kan lindras när patienter med mild inflammation i kroppen äter omega-3. Den antidepressiva effekten var större hos de med låggradig inflammation än de som inte hade någon inflammation. – Vi såg en signifikant förbättring i måendet, säger Lundaforskaren Klara Suneson. Depression är en vanlig sjukdom som sannolik

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. ECT, eller elbehandling, är en behandling med god effekt för svårt deprimerade patienter. Men många patienter är oroliga för biverkningar, främst långvariga minnessvårigheter. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i studier på möss undersökt om ECT påverkar halterna av proteinet beta-amyloid i hjärnan– det protein s

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development.

As nuclear power once again takes centre stage in the energy debate, the demand for new knowledge is growing. At Lund University, a new six‑year research project is now being launched to examine what future reactor technologies will mean for the environment, safety and society. Backed by SEK 27 million in new funding from the Swedish Research Council, the initiative will enable researchers to esta

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play
