This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his even

The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Biologists at Lund University in Sweden have in a recent study shown that the great tit, a common European songbird, has a tremendous capacity for self-control. Up to now, such impulse control has been primarily associated with larger cognitively advanced animals with far larger brains than the great tit. According to

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to "clean up" their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant. “This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Professor Hindrik Mulder who is responsible for the study. Melatonin is a naturally o

In February, the PhD course "Governance and the Sustainable Development Goals" was launched. The course brings together more than 20 PhD students from a dozen countries representing three continents - a diversity that benefits the course's discussions according to Thomas Hickmann.

One day per semester the doctoral students at LUSEM get to attend faculty-wide seminars and activities. It’s about getting to know each other a bit more, getting some inspiration and of course learning things as well. We got to talk about it with HJ Holm, who is our Vice Dean for research education. “When I took over the responsibility for third-cycle education as Vice Dean, I got the impression t

The world's largest bird, the ostrich, has problems reproducing when the temperature deviates by 5 degrees or more from the ideal temperature of 20 °C. The research, from Lund University in Sweden, is published in Nature Communications. The results show that the females lay up to 40 percent fewer eggs if the temperature has fluctuated in the days before laying eggs. Both male and female production

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

Data literacy is increasing its importance for current and future professionals. But what is ‘data literacy’ exactly and how do LUSEM educators work with it? We asked Blerim Emruli, Senior Lecturer in Informatics, and recently announced as one of the select participants in the Inaugural Professor Ambassador Class at Qlik. Senior Lecturer Blerim Emruli is one of seven educators from around the glob

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total land area that the countries of the world have included in their individual plans for climate action, known as nationally determined contributions. The results show a big divide between the countries' expected land use and the actual potential of land to mitigate climate change. “By totalling the aggregate land area

Många av oss har jobbat mer på distans under pandemin än vad vi någonsin drömde om att göra. Informatikforskaren Saonee Sarker har studerat distansarbete och dess påverkan på livspusslet i flera år, men då främst med fokus på IT-världen. I dag ser hon hur den branschens digitala arbete har förflyttats till att omfatta oss alla. Bokhyllorna i Saonee Sarkers arbetsrum på Ekonomicentrum i Lund gapar
