What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision. But first, they need to find a common language that all professional groups understand. – It's a challen

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that ravens are as clever as chimpanzees, despite having much smaller brains, indicating that rather than the size of the brain, the neuronal density and the structure of the birds’ brains play an important role in terms of their intelligence. “Absolute bra

The Inter Arts Centre (IAC) in Malmö provides a forum enabling all parts of the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts to conduct research together and create joint projects. Its objective is to find new approaches and to achieve collective results which are greater than the sum of their parts. An example of the Centre’s

Dear staff members, In times like these marked by so much uncertainty in the world, the upcoming festive season is a welcome break, allowing time for reflection and relaxation. It is an impossible task to sum up everything that has happened at a university during a year, but the international context has been a focal point for work at the management level. This year, we have worked to equip oursel

In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used i

New excavations have coaxed more secrets from Gribshunden, the flagship of the Danish-Norwegian King Hans which mysteriously sank in 1495 off the coast of Ronneby, Sweden. The wreck is internationally significant as the world’s best-preserved ship from the Age of Exploration – a proxy for the vessels of Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama. During August and September, a scientific team from Lun

Since April, the second part of a sustainable mobility project, which is to examine all staff and students’ travel habits to and from campus, has been underway. The aim of the project is to reduce the negative impact of our travel to and from work/studies on sustainability and the environment. Lund University currently has around 8,000 employees and 46,000 students, which means a lot of people tra

There is a well-known relationship between socioeconomic status and health, where people with lower socioeconomic status generally tend to have worse health and increased mortality. In a new dissertation, doctoral student Maria Lindéus at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology at Lund University examines the relationship between socioeconomic status and outcomes related to bone fractures and oste

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

Learning about climate change and other sustainability challenges can make students feel anxious and stressed, often leaving them overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond or take action. A new toolbox, developed by researchers at Lund University in collaboration with experts in climate change, pedagogy, arts, and child psychology, aims to strengthen students’ resilience and help them transform fee

Why do humans and other mammals have two kidneys, but only one heart and one brain? “Because the kidneys are so important, of course!” says Diana Karpman – partly joking and partly serious. As a consultant and professor in nephrology, she really does think these organs are among the most essential in the body. Diana K

Principen ”barnets bästa” ska alltid styra när rättvisan har att göra med barn, från vårdnadstvister till bestraffning av minderåriga. Men ny forskning från rättssociologen i Lund visar att den högtflygande moraliska ansatsen ofta landar platt. Barnkonventionen – svensk lag sedan 2020 – är tydlig: barn har rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem själva och ”barnets bästa” ska vara avgörande.

Effekterna av ett varmare Arktis är inte enbart av negativ betydelse för klimatet, visar en ny avhandling från Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap. Genom modellering kunde man bland annat se att en förflyttning av trädgränsen uppåt kunde öka kollagret då träd binder mer kol i sin biomassa än tundraväxter. Men resultaten är osäkra. Arktis – området norr om polcirkeln – värms upp minst dubbelt så
