In today's scientific world, microscopic images have become a powerful resource for research. With access to advanced microscopes, researchers can now create unique images of structures and objects. Beautiful and captivating images that can also convey complex context to a wider audience. Microscopic images offer a clear advantage over purely quantitative measurements: they allow us to see the str

Higher dose cohort initiated after positive early safety evaluation in Parkinson's therapy. After a positive initial safety evaluation, the pioneering STEM-PD clinical trial has advanced to higher dose testing. STEM-PD is a first-in-human clinical trial testing a new investigational therapy for Parkinson’s disease aimed at replacing the dopamine cells lost to the disease with healthy ones derived

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

There is a large carton of chicken eggs on the bench in Sofie Mohlin's laboratory. They have been delivered during the morning and soon they will be placed in the 37-degree heat of the incubator so that the embryo can develop. Already 42 hours after fertilization, researchers can begin their experiments to study how neuroblastoma develops. Sofie Mohlin is an Associate Professor in Molecular Physio

Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) is a safe alternative to today’s conventional double reading by radiologists and can reduce heavy workloads for doctors. This has now been shown in an interim analysis of a prospective, randomised controlled trial, which addressed the clinical safety of using AI in mammography screening. The trial, led by researchers from Lund Univers

How staff communicate – at lectures, meetings, via email and on social media is more valuable for the trust in the University than PR campaigns. However, to talk about Lund University staff as ambassadors for the university brand is to choose the wrong perspective, say communication researchers Charlotte Simonsson and Mats Heide.

New research from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies shows that children’s relationships with nature are not only important for their wellbeing but also for future sustainable forest management. The study also shows that different socioeconomic factors affect children’s experiences of and relationships with the forest. Currently, young people are at risk of having less and less cont

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

Ninety thousand people die in Sweden every year. Despite 80 percent of Sweden’s population stating they would like to donate their organs after death, fewer than 200 people actually become organ donors each year. Why? This is due to, among other reasons, our limited legislation and organs not being made available because of a shortage of intensive care beds. Simply dying is not enough to become an

Broke and depressed – that’s how doctoral students risk ending up if they don’t complete their studies in time. The Doctoral Student Ombudsman, Aleksandra Popvic, says supervisors and the University must take more responsibility for the structure of the thesis work, a view supported by a survey conducted by the Swedish Union of Civil Servants (ST). More than 45 percent of responses from doctoral s
