What kind of an image of yourself do you present on social media? And why? Carys Egan-Wyer, researcher in Consumer Culture, believes that in some ways leisure time has become a type of work. Showing off the perfect meals, gardens and jogging sessions also says something about us and our time. You probably know what it's like. Despite the burnt pots and sauce all over the stove: a photo of a beauti

“We want to use the knowledge of those who have worked for many years with the care and treatment of elderly people, and who are now growing older themselves. We mustn’t let their knowledge go to waste!” said Professor Emerita Bodil Jönsson at the start of the project Uppdrag Kunskap, in which 20 senior citizens will each carry out a research project. Professor Emerita Bodil Jönsson has started th

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Att sova mycket på natten och att ta långa tupplurar på dagen kan vara kopplat till sämre kognitiva förmågor visar ny forskning där 5631 deltagare medverkat från fem olika nordiska studier från ”the National E-infrastructure for Aging Research” (NEAR)*.(Overton et al., 2023) Människan sover nästan en tredjedel av livet och sömnen är en grundläggande faktor för vår hälsa och välbefinnande.

How can life-saving HIV treatments remain reliable when global aid is uncertain? What happens when animals are reduced to “carbon emissions” in sustainability debates? And how can urban forests be made safe at night without flooding them with artificial light, disturbing local wildlife? These are just some of the questions raised in Through the Kaleidoscope of Sustainability, an innovative new ant

In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive type of cancer representing approximately nine percent of all breast cancer cases in Sweden. It is more common among younger women, has a high heredity factor and causes more frequent relapses earlier in the course of the disease than other breast cancers. Researchers have applied full genome sequencing to carry out detailed mapping of genetic mutatio

In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young woman in Tanzania, having your period is associated with great challenges, myths

Why do some pregnancies succeed while others do not? With support from a newly awarded ERC Starting Grant, Assistant Professor Camila Consiglio and her team at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center are embarking on a project to explore the role the immune system plays in fertility, and in determining reproductive success. Infertility is a deeply personal and global health issue, affecting one in

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity. Like when the city of Malmö fails to create simple entry-level jobs because of unreasonable demands on people who want to start mobile food trucks. “That is how the sluggish Swedish labour market works. If we dared to shake up the regulations we would gain a lot
