The most common tests for COVID-19 are PCR tests, involving a nose and throat sample taken with a cotton swab. The procedure is often unpleasant, and the tests results require laboratory analysis. In a new study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers have now investigated whether rapid antigen testing can be used on saliva instead of swabbing the nasal cavity. The results are published in Inf

With the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors, researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an

Nordliga våtmarker har under tusentals år ackumulerat kol från atmosfären och därigenom haft en kylande effekt på klimatet. Men en ny studie visar att våtmarkernas kolupptag kan minska radikalt om klimatförändringarna leder till ökade temperaturer under sensommaren. Nettokoldioxidflödet i en våtmark styrs av balansen mellan upptag genom fotosyntes och emissioner via främst nedbrytning. Det har län

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for rapid and efficient detection of electrical charge in quantum systems using a nonlinear resonator that amplifies the signal without matching the sensor’s dissipation conditions. Thereby, they overcome previous limitations and make it applicable to various oscillating systems. Fast and reliable detection is essential for probing quantum

As a researcher, you sometimes have to work a little extra to get your knowledge out there. SWEAH's Impact Officer, Oskar Jonsson, has been training hard during the winter and spring. On May 4, he will embark on a 1,000-kilometer lecture tour on ageing and health – on a tandem bicycle, together with other SWEAH researchers, in the southern Swedish countryside. The plan is to cycle around 50 km a d

Fanny Hellgren's solo exhibition features several paintings from the artist's latest series. The astonishing canvases radiate soothing and pleasant feelings and by contemplating these non-figurative compositions one after another, one can sense a continuous rhythm. A pulsation, emanating from layers upon layers of acrylic paint, attracts us to track and understand its language and the dialogue tha

After just over a year as acting director of MAX IV, Olof Karis was named ordinary director earlier this summer. Was it an easy decision to stay on? “Oh definitely, I communicated my interest both in the application and in interviews. Ever since I was a doctoral student, I have wanted to see an increased use of synchrotron radiation in Swedish research.” What do you feel most proud of since you be

Isabel Bramsen och Anine Hagemann har skrivit ett kapitel om hybrid fredsmedling i Routledge Handbook for Intercultural Mediation. Kapitlet heter "Hybrid peace mediation in the age of pandemics" och undersöker fördelarna och utmaningarna med virtuell medling samt hur virtuell och fysisk medling kan komplettera varandra, till exempel med virtuell medling för att hålla kontakten mellan fysiska möten

For many years there has been an on-going discussion about how academic freedom is being challenged in many parts of the world, including Sweden. And when even some of the strongest academic bastions in the world such as Harvard are now fighting for their independence against the American federal administration’s political directives, it is clear that academia has not been crying wolf.
