När ett barn inte kan bo kvar hos sina föräldrar säger lagen att en släkting eller annan anhörig i första hand ska övervägas som familjehemsförälder. Trots bestämmelsen finns i Sverige ingen samlad kunskap om gruppen, något som skulle kunna underlätta socialtjänstens arbete. En ny avhandling har studerat släktinghemsföräldrarnas situation. Nästan 40 000 svenska barn och unga fick vid något tillfäl

Han inledde sin karriär med att stämma BT Kemi 1976. På fredag disputerar miljörättsadvokaten Staffan Michelson i rättssociologi. I sin avhandling har han tagit reda på hur miljöengagerade personer och företag kan ta hjälp av juridiken för att främja arbetet för en hållbar utveckling. – Många tror att makten att förändra miljön och klimatet mest finns hos politiker och myndigheter. Men det finns o

Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm tog emot Leif C. Groop-priset för framstående diabetesforskning i samband med LUDC Diabetes Research Day. – Priset gör att jag, åtminstone för en liten stund, kan vila i känslan av att allt det arbete jag lagt ner ändå är gott nog, säger pristagaren. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm vid Sahlgrenska akademin vid Göteborgs universitet är årets mottagare av Leif C. Groop-priset.

With VR goggles and a manual control, Elisabeth Dalholm Hornyánszky is wandering on a summer beach and in a flowering garden. She takes a boat trip on a calming expanse of water and meets butterflies on a rolling field. “Goodness, how close that butterfly is! Can I open the gate?” Her spontaneous outbursts and observations make us share her experiences even though we are not really part of them. U

Royal climate change researcher Harriet Bulkeley doesn’t believe that directives from above cause us to change our behaviour. On the other hand, she believes in the creative and fumbling environmental experiments that she has seen popping up in cities around the world. Now she is going to study climate-friendly initiatives in Sweden. Harriet Bulkeley at the royal lunch following her lecture. Photo

At any given time, more than 2 billion natural killer cells patrol the adult bloodstream as frontline defenders, protecting against infections and cancer. In a recent study published in Blood Advances, researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center present a comprehensive developmental map of human NK cells and their regulatory networks. Natural killer (NK) cells, named for their rapid res

Last month, Ella Quist defended her Ph.D. thesis. After beginning her research journey as a master’s student within our Ph.D. Preparatory Program, she dedicated the last several years to developing more efficient methods that can be used to generate functional and mature astrocytes for disease modeling of neurological disorders. In this interview, we learn more about her efforts to facilitate futu

Lund University in Sweden has received prestigious grants of EUR 4 million from the European Research Council (ERC). The funding is allocated to two new projects in biology and environmental research respectively. One project concerns gaining insights into one of the animal world’s most sensitive biological compasses. The other will examine the continuing decline of pollinating insects. Lund Unive

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

Äldre personer som sover mindre än fem timmar per dygn har en kraftigt ökad risk att bli feta. Framför allt ökar det farliga fettet runt buken av för lite sömn. Det är sedan tidigare känt att sömnproblem eller sömnbrist hos barn och unga vuxna är förenat med ökad risk för övervikt och fetma. Mindre känt har det hittills varit om sambandet också gäller för äldre människor, en grupp där man vet att

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh

Over the past 50 years, the water in lakes and watercourses has turned increasingly brown. The so-called browning has a negative impact on both drinking water production and ecosystems. If nothing is done, the water is likely to turn even browner – however, there is hope. Supported by a new study, researchers from Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) are pointi

Gemma Atkinson har tilldelats årets Eric K. Fernströms pris till yngre, särskilt lovande och framgångsrika forskare vid Lunds universitet. Hon forskar på bakteriers proteiner, för att förstå hur bakterier försvarar sig mot infekterande virus, så kallade bakteriofager. Priset får hon för: För banbrytande upptäckter av bakteriella försvarssystem mot virus. Genom nya metoder inom struktur- och beräkn

Korrosionsresistenta metalliska material behövs bland annat till raketmotorer, kärnkraftverk och kemiindustrin. Ofta används en legering av nickel, krom och molybden. Men en ny studie visar att denna legering rostar på ett sätt som tidigare inte varit känt. Byggnader, transportmedel, konstverk och musikinstrument – nästan överallt i samhället stöter vi på metalliska material. Det som begränsar liv
