Arbetslinjen har varit gynnsam för svensk tillväxt, men på längre sikt kan den visa sig skadlig. Färre barn föds och om det håller i sig riskerar landets ekonomi att minska. Utredningen för en framtid med barn som leds av Åsa Hansson, docent i nationalekonomi vid Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet har precis lanserat sin tredje rapport. I denna studerar Mattias Ossowicki, kansliråd vid Sociald

Över två miljoner människor, bara i Sverige, lever med sjukdom kopplat till hjärta och lungor. Framgångsrik forskning har bidragit till att färre dör, men hjärt-lungsjukdomar är fortfarande bland de vanligaste dödsorsakerna. Nu delar Hjärt-Lungfonden ut 76 miljoner kronor till forskning vid Lunds universitet. Fyra av de 37 forskarna som får projektanslag i denna omgång är:  Henrik Engblom, adjunge

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en ny metod för att ta reda på hur blodets proteinsammansättning förändras vid sjukdom eller organskada. Det kan ge en djupare förståelse för hur sjukdomar påverkar kroppen och kan användas för att upptäcka nya biomarkörer i blodet som stöd för att diagnostisera komplexa sjukdomstillstånd. Våra organ består av en mängd specifika proteiner som är livsvik

Den vanligaste cancerformen hos barn är en viss typ av lymfatisk leukemi. Idag överlever de flesta barn som drabbas, men behandlingen är tung. I ett försök att hitta en mer skonsam behandling har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat en immunterapi som i avancerade experimentella modeller effektivt dödar cancerceller i en undergrupp av leukemi. För bara 80 år sedan dog i stort sett alla barn me

För drygt ett och ett halvt år sedan tog biologen Emma Kritzberg sig an uppdraget att utveckla Naturvetenskapliga fakultetens Core Curriculum för forskarutbildningen. Uppdraget kom direkt efter hennes tid som studierektor för forskarutbildningen vid biologiska institutionen, en roll hon hade i sex år.– Jag har alltid tyckt att forskarutbildningen är bland det roligaste som finns. Som studierektor

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

Within a few months, two startups with founders from Lund University have been accepted into Y Combinator, one of the world's most selective accelerators. Getting in is no small feat. An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 startups apply to the San Francisco accelerator every quarter, and only about one in a hundred is accepted. Founded in 2005, Y Combinator counts Airbnb, Stripe and Coinbase among its alu

Assessing patients via chat functions is a means for healthcare centres to streamline care, but it requires an entirely new approach to medical evaluation. A study from Lund University shows that nurses need to expand their professional competencies beyond their traditional skills. A significant part of nurses' work in healthcare centres involves assessing patients' medical needs through in-person

A new centre to stimulate interest in science, technology and research is being built at Campus Helsingborg. In the long term, the Helsingborg Science Centre will attract 50,000 visitors a year, following the example of the Vattenhallen Science Centre in Lund. Lund University, together with the City of Helsingborg, Wihlborgs, Navet Analytics and the Helsingborg Trade Association, is laying the fou

The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear
