The results are valuable for the development of drugs, but also for the production of bioenergy, for example. It is already known that bacteria can create an electric current outside their own cell, known as ex

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells. Why? Because nanodiamonds are consistently bright and can give us unique knowledge about the inner life of cells over a long time. Now physics researchers Elke Hebisch and Christelle Prinz from the strategic rese

As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells. Why? Because nanodiamonds are consistently bright and can give us unique knowledge about the inner life of cells over a long time. Now physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in injecting a large number of nanodiamonds directly to the cell interior. Diamonds are not on

For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa

Here is a brief update on what's going on in the salary movement, when this year's salary review might start at Lund University and what the different steps are. Industry "marks the spot" Some time ago, this year's negotiations between the parties in the competitive industry were finalised. The result of these negotiations is usually called the "mark" and often constitutes the starting point for t

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed methods to simulate how breast tumours grow and how breast tissue changes over time. By digitally replicating both the anatomy of the breast and the development of tumours, new, advanced imaging technology can be tested more quickly and safely than is currently possible – without exposing patients to radiation or subjecting them to further ex

Ahead of spring, the University’s International Council has started working on the development of a new approach to broad international issues. The objective is to enable the University to act faster and more proactively in its international work, while applying a more long-term perspective. The working method, which the members of the International Council have chosen to call ‟Global Dynamic Enga

A research team has created a picture of historical temperatures in the Arctic, spanning over a thousand years. A new technique and a recently published database of proxy data have been used in the research, and the results are an important contribution to understanding temperature changes now and in the future. The Arctic is the area in the world that is heating up the fastest, through so-called

A simple blood test with 90% accuracy that shows whether a patient has Alzheimer’s disease has floored the research community, which is calling it a gamechanger. Oskar Hansson, professor of neurology at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, is leading the research team that has rapidly taken a major step towards better diagnostics. “The blood test will make it easier for general practitio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 15 per cent of the population – almost one in seven Swedes – suffer from digestive problems in the form of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea. But since these problems are not life-threatening, and the status of the digestive tract is low, medical researchers and funders have shown only moderate inte

Despite sweet lupin, buck wheat and amaranth being nutritious and climate-smart crops, we eat them only rarely. Engineering students studying food technology at Lund University in Sweden have recently developed completely new experimental products in which those crops play a key role – and perhaps provide a clue to the range on offer in the food shops of the future. Each year a group of students o

Boreal peatlands store large amounts of carbon, but warmer and drier conditions caused by climate change may turn these ecosystems into carbon sources. Equipped with drones and thermal cameras Julia Kelly, who recently received her doctorate at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), has studied what factors affect the CO2 fluxes in peatland ecosystems. Boreal forests and peatlands

Den muslimska fastemånaden ramadan pågår under april och ett par dagar in i maj. Det är en månad då troende vuxna muslimer ska fasta från det att solen går upp på morgonen tills den går ned på kvällen. Insulinbehandlade diabetiker blir avrådda från att fasta, men många gör det i alla fall. Vad får det för konsekvenser? För två år sedan undersökte en forskargrupp från Mellanöstern, Nordafrika och l

Blodpropp i ben eller lunga är en av våra vanligaste kärlsjukdomar och beror till 50 procent på ärftliga orsaker. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet utgått från registerstudier och undersökt familjer med sjukdomen hereditärt angioödem, HAE. De fann en ny ärftlig mekanism som ökar risken för blodproppar i ben och lungor hos individer med HAE. Studien, som publiceras i tidskriften Blood, v

Rektor beslutade 2022 om fem forskningsområden som ska vara universitetets profilområden fram till 2030. Förhoppningen då var att regeringen snabbt skulle sjösätta planerna på att profilera landets lärosäten och skjuta till mångmiljonbelopp. Men regeringsskiftet hösten 2022 innebar istället utredning och analys och fortfarande är det oklart om den nationella satsningen blir verklighet.
