Our health in later life is shaped not only by the way we live, what our childhood was like or our time in our mothers’ wombs. Even our parents’ health and lifestyle at the time of our conception may affect our health. Peter M Nilsson, professor of clinical cardiovascular research at Lund University, is calling for a major investment in health and lifestyle advice for adolescents and those plannin

Each year, one in four women suffers from bacterial vaginosis, something that is currently treated with antibiotics. However, recently a gentler, antibiotic-free alternative has been authorised for sale in the EU. The chance discovery behind the innovation was made by a group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden. Stinging, itching and odorous vaginal discharge is a common and a stigmatise

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

Generativ AI är en fråga som engagerar många av oss just nu. Den finns i samtalen i korridorerna, i undervisningen och i hur vi arbetar. Och även om allt arbete ännu inte syns utåt, så pågår det mycket – både på universitetsgemensam nivå och här hos oss på fakulteten – för att förstå vad detta betyder för våra utbildningar och hur vi ska anamma AI i vår verksamhet på bästa sätt.För oss i fakultets

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

When fish from different habitats meet, it’s not always love at first swim. New research from Lund University in Sweden in collaboration with North Carolina State University shows that aggressive females can actively repel males from the “wrong” environment. This behaviour may ultimately contribute to the emergence of new species. Understanding how species evolve is one of the most fundamental que

A method that will quickly and easily detect diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, is under development. The aim is to identify individuals in the risk zone so that it is possible to initiate early treatment to prevent, or even reverse, the development. Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose.

When the American research field "Fear of Crime" was introduced in Sweden in the 1980s, it was translated "otrygghet", a word with a previously established meaning in Swedish. The meaning of the word "otrygghet" has since then changed significantly in Sweden. From being used to signify economic and materialist unpredictability, "otrygghet" has come to be used almost exclusively in a crime context.

Targeted missiles that can enter cancer cells and deliver lethal cell toxins without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This has been a long-standing vision in cancer research, but it has proved difficult to accomplish. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now taken some crucial steps in this direction. “For several years, we tried to elucidate which target proteins on the cancer cel
