The fight against COVID-19 continues. In Lund, researchers are working to identify a compound that could be used to prevent viral infection, and thus save lives. “This model that has been developed with our collaborators will fill an important gap for current and future drug screening efforts for the upper or lower airways using human airway cells”, says Sinem Tas, associate researcher. The most r

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was "the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence". Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today's and tomorrow's society. The technology is needed
