Idag invigdes uppgraderingen av 7T MR-kameran med bandklippning, föreläsningar och presentationer. Symposiumet anordnades av Lund Bioimaging Centre (LBIC) som tillsammans med Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund driver den nationella forskningsanläggningen. För tio år sedan lyftes den 40 ton tunga 7T-kameran på plats i Lund och i somras gjordes en omfattande uppgradering av 7T-kamerans hård- och mjuk

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new, efficient method based on the genetic scissors CRISPR-Cas9, that facilitates antibody development. The discovery is published in Nature Communications. Antibody drugs are the fastest growing class of drug, and several therapeu

In May, screening for colorectal cancer will be offered in Skåne to all those born in 1961. Subsequently, Swedes aged 60 to 74 will be tested for blood in their faeces, to detect cancer at an early stage. Once all regions in Sweden have introduced the screening, at least 300 lives are expected to be saved per year. Sweden has been slow to introduce screening; this spring, Skåne will become the thi

3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.   “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and t

In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used i
