This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Right now, everything is focused on managing the coronavirus. However, even before COVID-19, viral pandemics around the world were increasing and the ’ordinary’ influenza virus and common cold virus cost society enormous amounts of money each year. Swedish virus researchers say they could improve the world with the he

Lotta Gränse, ophthalmologist and researcher Lund University and Skåne University Hospital has demonstrated that eye drops containing cortisone can prevent the development of the very serious eye disease ROP in infants.

Congratulations to Jacob Vogel and Camila Consiglio who have been awarded grants to develop their research projects on Alzheimer's and fertility. Camila Consiglio's research focuses on infertility and the immune system that plays a central role in determining reproductive success. Jacob Vogel and his research team will develop computational simulations of Alzheimer’s disease enabling virtual exper
During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year. The disease has major consequences for the f

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

This Regional Outlook focuses on the role of satellite imagery in shaping our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the physical damage it has caused the landscape. On 7 October 2023, Hamas carried out a large scale attack against Israel, causing over 1 000 fatalities, taking more than 200 hostages and firing thousands of rockets into Israeli territory.

Tolibjon Mustafoev, PhD candidate at Lund University For the last few decades, Uzbekistan has been a popular research destination for many scholars studying authoritarian regimes. Indeed, the first president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, had been in power from the first days of independence in 1991 until September 2016. Karimov was known for his policies on closed economy, high bureaucracy, centra

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the
