When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

The archaeology team gets up with the sun at five o’clock each morning. They then work for seven hours under the burning sun in the middle of nowhere in Egypt’s desert landscape among venomous scorpions and lizards. They only stop work for lunch and a typical Egyptian chai tea break. “The most common danger is sunstroke – you cannot get away from the sun”, says Maria Nilsson. “But also workplace a

En av tio män och två av tio kvinnor lider av migrän. Många får ingen bra hjälp av dagens mediciner, och har inte heller tillgång till kunniga läkare. Men det finns ljus i änden av tunneln, menar professor Lars Edvinsson från Lunds universitet. Han har nyligen blivit ordförande för International Headache Society, en världsomfattande förening för forskare och läkare med inriktning på migrän och ann

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene that produces this protein in mice, the amount of Alzheimer’s plaque and the inflam

Var femte hockeydam på elitnivå upplever symtom på utmattning. Många, både kvinnliga och manliga hockeyspelare, uppger att de konsumerar alkohol på en risknivå. Men det starkaste sambandet i en ny studie om psykisk hälsa bland svenska elithockeyspelare såg forskarna vid upprepade hjärnskakningar – med tydlig påverkan på måendet, oavsett kön.

When Lund University switched to digital teaching there were many challenges both for the teaching staff and students. How exams and assessment were to be conducted now that the students were not on-site was an important question and a very difficult challenge. The existing tools for digital on-campus exams were tested for online exams. Inspera, a digital tool that some of the teaching staff and a

Pressmeddelande 17 mars 2021: Hjärt-Lungfondens största satsning genom tiderna, befolkningsstudien SCAPIS, öppnar idag för forskare knutna till svenska lärosäten. Studien, som har resulterat i en forskningsbank med data, bilder och prover från över 30 000 deltagare, är en milstolpe inom svensk medicinsk forskning. Aldrig tidigare har forskning kunnat bedrivas på ett djupare och mer omfattande unde

Sveriges smittskyddsstrategi bygger i hög utsträckning på frivillighet och tillit. I en färsk enkätstudie finner forskare i nationalekonomi att efterlevnaden av myndigheternas rekommendationer tycks vara relativt god, framförallt i riskgrupperna. Det som oroar svenskarna mest är inte smittan, utan de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av pandemin. Resultaten understryker också att frivillighet värderas hög

– Relevansen för all den tid man lagt ner på sin avhandling ökar om man försöker nå ut i samhället med sin kunskap och sina resultat.

Hani Alsafadi defended his Ph.D. thesis on the 13th of February, 2023. With a longstanding interest in biomedical research and a passion for better understanding one of the least regenerative organs in the body, the lung, he has spent the past four years helping to uncover some of the mechanisms that may drive a lung disease currently without a cure, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In this intervie

Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The

We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment.     Memory researchers and cognitive scientists have conducted a lot of research into how the sound environment aff

Can a reduced intake of gluten during childhood affect the development of coeliac disease (gluten intolerance)? Researchers at Lund University will investigate this question in the new study GRAIN (Gluten Reduction After INfancy and the risk of celiac disease). – We’ve seen in previous studies that the amount of gluten you eat plays a role in the risk of getting sick. In GRAIN, we want to see if w
