It has been a year since an extensive Research and Innovation Bill was introduced. The Ministry of Education, research funding bodies and higher education institutions are still busy converting it and its initiatives into action.

Mångårig diabetes, höga blodsocker och högt blodtryck – är de tre viktigaste riskfaktorerna för diabetiska ögonskador. En 73 årig kvinna i Brasilien har dem alla men hon har inte ett spår av ögonförändringar trots att hon haft typ 1 diabetes i 69 år. Hon och andra enstaka som slipper komplikationer kan ge forskarna viktiga ledtrådar att nysta i. En stor majoritet av alla diabetiker får ögonförändr

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

The discovery that free electrons can move asymmetrically provides a deeper understanding of one of the basic processes in physics: the photoelectric effect. It was first described by Albert Einstein and explains how high frequency light releases electrons from a material. The results have been published in Physical Review Letters. “The photoelectric effect has been studied for many years and it’s

Vävnadsläkning är ett potentiellt nytt mål i behandlingen av hjärtkärlsjukdom hos personer med typ 2-diabetes. Det visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige, och diabetes innebär ökad risk att drabbas. För en person med typ 2-diabetes är sannolikheten att drabbas av en stroke eller en hjärtinfarkt flera gånger högre jämfört med den som i
