Many school pupils are in daily contact with bullying – as victims, bullies or witnesses. We know that the reactions of people around them are very significant, but what determines whether or not other pupils come to the victim’s rescue? According to a group of Lund University researchers, the witnesses’ own anxiety is a crucial factor. In two new studies, researchers have investigated what is kno

A few days after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the former Dutch Ambassador to Ukraine told BBC that his parents-in-law did not dare to go to a refugee shelter because they were afraid to contract Covid-19.

In an international collaboration led by Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. “This knowledge can be used to map mechanisms for how nerve fibers atrophy and grow back. It means that we can better understand how diabetes affects the nerves in t

Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har seglat upp som ett av vår tids hetaste forskningsområden. I sin avhandling har Louise Brunkwall, nutritionist och doktorand vid Lunds universitet, studerat övervikt, fetma och kostens betydelse i relation till våra tarmbakterier. Fetma uppkommer när energiintaget i det vi äter är större än den energi vi förbrukar. Men förmågan att behålla energibalansen
