Photo by M.Accelertor on Unsplash It is not necessarily the students who need to join a lecture via Zoom; sometimes the lecturer is the one taking part remotely. This is very practical for guest lecturers who are very far away and can thereby avoid a long trip. It also opens up opportunities for simple collaborations between higher education institutions. The solution will be different depending o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair.

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate
