SWEAH-doktoranden Glenn Möllergren, Socialhögskolan i Lund, är i full gång med att intervjua äldre personer under sin stipendieresa i Rumänien. Han har fått sin rumänska etikprövning godkänd och gör intervjuer med äldre som bor kvar i egna hemmet. De måste klara vardagen utan hjälp från kommunen, trots att behoven ofta är stora. Offentligt finansierad hemtjänst saknas i princip i landet.– Första

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, SWEAH-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi i Lund, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter. Den äldre befolkningen växer och teknikanvändningen ökar. – Teknik bidrar till bättre livskvalitet om

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic
