Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I vilka vetenskapliga tidskrifter ska man som forskare försöka få artiklar publicerade? Det gäller att se upp, eftersom det finns en del mindre nogräknade förlag på marknaden. De erbjuder publicering på webben – mot betalning, men utan ordentlig granskning. ”Ett allvarligt hot mot den vetenskapliga trovärdigheten”,

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. IT IS HIGH TIME that we start thinking about how we define life, according to a group of Lund University researchers. An army of intelligent robots is growing in front of us, but also opportunities to alter people’s DNA, create super babies and, perhaps, to encounter life in space.“Human beings have always dreamed of

The Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University is a partner in BEYOND, a new European postdoctoral training programme designed to prepare the next generation of researchers in advanced cell and gene therapies. Coordinated by Fondazione Telethon, the programme is supported by €6 million from the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND scheme and will fund 35 international postdoct
An innovative IVF test and a methane detector – these are some of the future innovation stars developed at Lund University. Since its launch in 2017, the Future Innovations Award has recognised ideas that can “change our world for the better”. This year, the awards were worth a total of SEK 800,000 from Sparbanken Skåne.

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

A new PhD thesis by Bernard Ekumah examines why agricultural development in Ghana continues to generate uneven and contradictory outcomes, especially for smallholder farmers. It argues that these outcomes are not primarily the result of isolated failures of policy design or implementation. Rather, they arise from structural contradictions embedded in the internal logic of Ghana’s neo-liberal agrar
