A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes.

Many of us have noticed the increasing frequency of climate protests organised by Extinction Rebellion (XR) across Sweden. What do these protests represent? Is this just another group of tree-huggers being a public nuisance? Or is this a needed development in taking our climate goals further? Lund University researchers, Stephen Woroniecki and Tullia Jack argue that there are critical ideas to tak

Two thematic research groups, recent publication success and new funding mark a new phase for the Department of Informatics. Research in Information Systems at the department continues to evolve in response to emerging technological and societal challenges. With the establishment of the Digital Societies and Hybrid Intelligence research groups, researchers at the department are creating new platfo

Vetenskap ska gå att reproducera, men i verkligheten är ett steg som ofta förbigås. Forskaren Burak Tunca på Ekonomihögskolan efterlyser flera åtgärder för att göra forskningen bättre – och öppnare. ”Forskare bör alltid förregistrera sina studier och vara öppna med sin data. På så vis kan vi undvika bias och att hypoteser förändras under arbetets gång. Det är sunt förnuft”, säger han. Låter ett fo

Offshore wind power is presented as one of the solutions to solve the energy crisis in southern Sweden. But the issue has been met with a "not in my backyard” attitude, as many municipalities say no to the government's decision. LUCSUS researcher Henner Busch, shares his thoughts on how to involve local communities and create a more just energy transition. Earlier this autumn, the Swedish governme

Preschool and primary school children will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how people can protect nature. The Natural Nations co-operation project is introducing biodiversity into the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and nature was part of general education, and knowledge was also transmitted between generations. Today, the

Lund Stem Cell Center researchers from Lund University and Skåne University Hospital have uncovered a way to impair the growth and progression of glioblastoma tumor cells - the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The study, published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, shows it is possible to transform these cancer cells into cells that resemble normal, mature astrocytes. Nearly half of all cancer

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

I över ett decennium har supermagnetkameran på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund levererat ovärderlig information till forskningen. Nu har den genomgått en avancerad uppgradering som gör tekniken både snabbare och mer exakt, vilket skapar nya möjligheter för forskare inom olika områden att utforska och avbilda kroppens strukturer med ännu större precision. 2014 lyftes den 40 ton tunga magnetkamera

There are plans to build a new animal testing facility at Brunnshög in north-east Lund. It is a strategic decision by the Faculty of Medicine based on the need to replace the present animal facility, which is no longer optimal for breeding, and the desire aim to offer international researchers a safer research environment. LUM spoke to three of LU’s experts on animal testing matters. The animal fa

Living forests with diverse plants and animals, forests where you can hike, hunt or pick berries and mushrooms – will they still be there when the pressure on forestry production increases? Is it possible to increase production in a sustainable way, without reducing the possibility of achieving environmental and sustainability goals? Great hopes are being placed in the forest to provide the raw ma

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

Doctoral students living on relatively low external scholarships should get terms of employment that are more equal to those on doctoral studentships. This is the hope of the University’s Education Board, which has approved the faculties topping up the income of doctoral students on scholarships. However, the Faculty of Law and the University’s employment lawyers have registered reservations again

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the
