This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How staff communicate – at lectures, meetings, via email and on social media is more valuable for the trust in the University than PR campaigns. However, to talk about Lund University staff as ambassadors for the university brand is to choose the wrong perspective, say communication researchers Charlotte Simonsson and

New advanced therapies can alleviate or cure chronic diseases. But medical progress raises the question of how rights should be protected and balanced, according to Jessica Almqvist, professor in international law and human rights, who conducts research on gene therapies. With advanced therapies, doctors can treat or prevent serious diseases. Gene therapies are tailor-made and individualised. The

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

To find out why so many people have left their farms in north-eastern Syria, physical geographer Lina Eklund uses both satellite data and interviews. ‟It is important to understand what can be linked to climate change and what are societal factors, so that we can better equip ourselves for the future.” Lina Eklund has specialised in remote sensing, which enables her to determine what happens over

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

I år firar Familjen Kamprads stiftelse 15 år. Under dessa år har stiftelsen gjort betydande insatser för svensk forskning och Lunds universitet har haft förmånen att ta del av ett stort antal generösa donationer som bidragit till viktiga framsteg. Flera forskningsprojekt vid Medicinska fakulteten har fått stöd av stiftelsen. Projekten spänner över områden som åldrande, cancervård, hjärt-kärlhälsa

Researchers from Lund University, building on previous studies, have been working to understand why stem cells are transforming into cancer. Previously they revealed that small RNA molecules, long considered “junk” or degradation byproducts of RNA-sequencing, are emerging as key regulators of important cellular processes, like protein synthesis. Their latest discovery is published in Nature Cell B

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ

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

Diabetes researchers at Lund University have previously shown that people with diabetes can be stratified into five subgroups with differing disease progression. A new study by the same researchers provides increased evidence for the clinical relevance of the classification system.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method tha

The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi

The symptom profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases often overlap, and diagnosing age-related cognitive symptoms is complex. A patient may have multiple overlapping disease processes in the brain at the same time. Now, researchers at Lund University have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect several neurodegenerative diseases from a single blood sample. The study is

Kompetensportalen, Lucat, Lupin, Lubas and LUCRIS. Those are the names of some of Lund University’s administrative systems. They are now also the names of five new bacteriophages that have recently been discovered in the ponds of Lund University’s Botanical Gardens.

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery
