What surprises a course participant from Africa on a short visit in Lund and to LUSEM? And what made the strongest impressions? Takes to bring back? And what about the group dynamic with new acquaintances from many different parts of the same continent? We are really curious about what happened during the fourth round of the course Innovation, Transformation and Resilience for Sustainable Developm

Kajsa Brolin forskar om hur våra gener och vår miljö påverkar risken att utveckla Parkinsons sjukdom. Den 27 mars lägger hon fram sin avhandling som till stor del baseras på MultiParks egen biobank som innehåller prover från över 1000 skånska parkinsonpatienter. Här berättar hon om en nyligen upptäckt genetisk riskfaktor som verkar finnas specifikt i Skåne. Och skyddar verkligen kaffe mot Parkinso

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Snart kommer knockoutmusen för TCF7L2 till LUDC. TCF7L2 är den viktigaste riskgenen för typ 2 diabetes och med musens hjälp kommer forskarna att lära sig mer om riskgenens funktioner. Knockoutmöss och andra genmodifierade djur är idag kraftfulla hjälpmedel när grundläggande sjukdomsmekanismer ska studeras. Tekniken

Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet. Cancer sprider sig inte slu

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

Andreas Bruzelius, a Ph.D. student at Lund University, defended his PhD thesis on Friday, 20 October 2023. Andreas' research focuses on generating brain cells, specifically interneurons, in the lab, which has significant implications for the study of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Combining cell biology and electrophysiology, his work has the potential to create personalized dis

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

Donald Trump aims to introduce sharply increased tariffs and an extensive deportation policy, while Kamala Harris is focused on domestic issues like stabilizing inflation and strengthening the middle class. What will happen to the U.S. and global economy when one of them becomes president? Maria Persson, Associate Professor in Economics, takes a closer look at the next U.S. president from an econo

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 2020 will be remembered as the year when the coronavirus paralysed the world. At the same time, the negative effect of climate change became increasingly apparent, and the pleas to listen to the scientist and the calls for action became even more urgent. What changes for the climate do researchers want to see in 2021?

Att vandra i skogen är inte bara en naturupplevelse, det är också en doftsensation. Men en ändrad doft från träden kan vara ett tecken på att skogen är klimatstressad. Detta är resultat som forskare tar med sig in i ett nytt projekt som ska utvärdera konsekvenserna av ett förändrat skogsbruk. Forskningsprojektet koordineras av Lunds universitet och finansieras av EU med 60 miljoner kronor. Kunskap

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials. In a new literature review from the Centre for Envir
