Livsmedelsforskare i Lund har upptäckt att det är hälsosamt att få i sig små mängder krom och vissa aminosyror före maten. Varför? Jo, denna blandning utspädd i vatten dämpar rejält den blodsockerstegring som uppstår när man äter. Nu hoppas de att drycken – som smakar som vanligt mineralvatten - ska kunna konkurrera

Generativ AI är en fråga som engagerar många av oss just nu. Den finns i samtalen i korridorerna, i undervisningen och i hur vi arbetar. Och även om allt arbete ännu inte syns utåt, så pågår det mycket – både på universitetsgemensam nivå och här hos oss på fakulteten – för att förstå vad detta betyder för våra utbildningar och hur vi ska anamma AI i vår verksamhet på bästa sätt.För oss i fakultets
Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

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

Each year, one in four women suffers from bacterial vaginosis, something that is currently treated with antibiotics. However, recently a gentler, antibiotic-free alternative has been authorised for sale in the EU. The chance discovery behind the innovation was made by a group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden. Stinging, itching and odorous vaginal discharge is a common and a stigmatise
