Forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att de biologiska föräldrarnas gener påverkar barnets insulinfunktion samt förmågor att reglera blodsockernivåer och blodfetter på olika sätt. Med hjälp av sådan kunskap kan det bli möjligt att utveckla förebyggande behandlingar som minskar barnets risk att utveckla typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Tidigare forskning av diabetesforskaren Rashmi Prasad har

Genom att skapa ett konstgjort åldrande hos möss, har lundaforskare kunnat följa hur aneurysm – pulsåderbråck – utvecklas i blodkärlens väggar. Ett resultat i studien, som nu publicerats i Journal of Biological Chemistry, överraskade forskarna: mössen skyddades samtidigt mot högt blodtryck genom att en annan signalväg aktiverades i kärlväggens celler - och kompenserade för belastningen i de åldran

I över 60 år har forskare försökt avgöra om växter pollineras mer på dagen eller natten – utan att nå någon tydlig slutsats. Nu visar en stor forskningsöversikt gjord vid Lunds universitet att nattens pollinatörer gör lika stor insats som dagaktiva arter i hela 90 procent av de undersökta fallen. Det flesta av oss vet hur viktiga bin, fåglar och fjärilar är för växters reproduktion – utan pollinat

Tolibjon Mustafoev, PhD candidate at Lund University For the last few decades, Uzbekistan has been a popular research destination for many scholars studying authoritarian regimes. Indeed, the first president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, had been in power from the first days of independence in 1991 until September 2016. Karimov was known for his policies on closed economy, high bureaucracy, centra

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that usually requires lifelong treatment. A central goal for many diabetes researchers is to develop new cell therapies that can cure the disease. The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation provides support to two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre who contribute with new knowledge to this research field. Type 1 diabetes is a condition wh

Every chair is taken and the leaders of the workshop have had to turn participants away. Among doctoral students, there is clearly great interest in the topic – to finish your thesis on time and feel good along the way.   “I think the workshop is great, it opens your mind and the techniques seem realistic to use in your work”, says Kristin Osk Ingvarsdottir who this spring will commence the final

Lund researchers have every reason to be proud regarding competition for EU grants. LU is the best in Sweden in terms of total funding and in the top three with the Karolinska Institute (KI) and Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) regarding the number of participations in different projects.  “We have the most ERC grants in Sweden, and within the humanities and social sciences there are special ef

On 1 January 2020, a new law will come into force that means that cases concerning research misconduct are to be forwarded to a new national board exclusively dedicated to this. At Lund University, this will involve two or three current cases that will not be finalised in time.  "The purpose of the act is good, however, the allocation of responsibilities between the new board and ourselves is unfo

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

In 2019, the number of flights for business travel decreased by nearly 10 per cent at the University. At the same time, train travel increased by 20 per cent.   “There are many deliberate individual decisions behind this. We are on the right track!” says the head of sustainability Claes Nilén. When you look at the numbers for travel in Lund University’s environmental report, it is evident that few

When 1,200 researchers from 60 countries arrived at the end of July, it marked a milestone: the largest academic congress ever held in the city – and the most important event in the field of economic history worldwide. For one week, the World Economic History Congress (WEHC) transformed Lund into a hub for ideas, networking, and public engagement. “I was very nervous right up until Monday morning,

Cyberattacks against the University have sharply increased over the past two years. They mainly take the form of email attacks, known as phishing, which aim to penetrate and take over entire IT environments. The attacks often succeed. Lund University is no different from the crowd.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman’s genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are inv

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery
