Precision medicine seeks to reduce errors and improve accuracy in medical and health recommendations, but better evidence is needed to fulfil its potential. An international consortium led by Paul Franks at Lund University presents new guidelines that may increase the clinical relevance of precision medicine research. An international consensus report on precision medicine that was published in Na

Professors of literature Torbjörn Forslid and Anders Ohlsson helped bring the concept of shared reading to Sweden. They have now received funding from LU Innovation to develop and adapt it for use in upper-secondary schools. Shared reading is originally a British concept, which essentially involves a reading circle with reading aloud taking place in groups. When the group meets, the leader reads a

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Kan en högst vanlig allergimedicin förbättra överlevnaden hos patienter med den allvarliga hudcancersjukdomen malignt melanom? En ny forskningsstudie från Lunds universitet tyder på att så kan vara fallet. – Tidigare studier har visat att samma antihistaminer har överlevnadsvinster i bröstcancer. Nu ser vi samma sak

When political scientist Umut Ozkirimli engages in his third mission as an academic, i.e. taking part in public debate, he gets death threats. At the moment, he receives as many as ten such threats per day. Umut Ozkirimli.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers at Lund University in Sweden. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit

As part of current efforts to work towards sustainable development, find solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt cities to the effects of climate change, such as floods and extreme heat, there are high hopes that nature-based solutions (NBS) can support the transformation needed. Based on the knowledge that implementation of NBS is still emerging and constrained by various barriers,

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money.

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers at Lund
