För att studera hur hjärnan fungerar och utveckla nya tekniker för behandling av neurologiska sjukdomar har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat vävnadsvänliga och flexibla mikroelektroder som är ungefär en tiondel så tjocka som ett hårstrå. Nu har tre av doktoranderna i forskargruppen precis disputerat. Hjärnan är den mest komplicerade struktur vi känner till och den ligger bakom vår intellig

Professorn och melanomexperten Christian Ingvar har sett soltrender komma och gå. Personligen tar han lätt på ungdomstrenden med att ”maxa” solningen med hjälp av UV-appar. Men han är tydlig med sakfrågan: att bränna sig är skadligt, och svenskar måste behålla sin medvetenhet om nackdelar med solandet. Det farliga melanomet tror han är här för att stanna – men förhoppningsvis så tunt att det kan o

In type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells are unable to assimilate the essential hormone insulin which is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas. Exactly what is wrong with the beta cells in type 2 diabetes is the question to which Professor Erik Renström at Lund University Diabetes Centre is searching for an answer. After just over twenty years of successful research in the field, he is now being

In its largest investment yet, Cancerfonden, the Swedish Cancer Society, has announced its 2025 funding decisions, awarding SEK 1 billion SEK to strengthen cancer research across Sweden. Lund University received SEK 144.8 million, including SEK 50 million for projects led by ten researchers affiliated with the Lund Stem Cell Center. Among this year’s awardees is Dr. Sandra Lindstedt, senior consul

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

LUCSUS Professor Christine Wamsler recently visited Australia to give the prestigious Dean’s lecture at the Melbourne School of Design (MSD). She was also invited to meet with researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in order to stimulate their work and open up a wider debate on urban adaptation and resilience. - Supporting sustainability and resilience is one of the three focus areas of the U

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

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what should be sustained, and how. It also highlights how different theories of sustai

Högt blodtryck skadar våra blodkärl. Det skadar också vårt hjärta, vår hjärna och våra njurar. Ett högt blodtryck ökar också risken att drabbas av hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Exakt varför högt blodtryck är farligt vet man dock inte. – Skälet till det är att vi länge haft effektiva blodtryckssänkande mediciner, och då har det inte betraktats som angeläget att ta reda på hur skadorna på blodkärlen upps

En av de främsta fördelarna med att vara universitetslärare? Att handleda och se studenter växa i sin roll. Det tycker i alla fall redaktörerna till en nyutkommen bok. Detektiver med förstoringsglas och att fånga och tillaga en fisk. Det är några av metaforerna som universitetslektorerna Anna Jonsson och Olof Hallonsten använder sig av för att förklara relationen mellan handledare och student, res
