A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, was recently appointed as a dis

En hög blå dag i Västra Hamnens gränder. Virrvarr av svartvita svansar, nosar och skall gör vaktplikt i radhusdörren. Husse, professor i immunologi Tomas Leanderson, hyssjar, förmanar, välkomnar till köksbordet, kaffe. Om bara några dagar blir denne fullmaktsprofessor, en av de sista vid Medicinska fakulteten, en fri man, efter en livslång kärleksaffär med immunologin. Två stunder på dagen är gyll

Four months ago, Professor Moheiddin Homeidi came to Lund from Syria as the first researcher the University has received through the network Scholars at Risk. Despite the start not being as he imagined he sees exciting opportunities in his new research community.  On the Ebla Private University website, there is a photo of Moheiddin Homeidi in a suit, as the somewhat austere dean of the Faculty of

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

Increased temperatures in connection with climate change are now inspiring researchers at CASE to identify challenges and develop measures to mitigate and manage excessive heat. On March 19, they will meet in a workshop led by Andrew Karvonen, Professor of Urban Design and Planning at LTH. Since the massive heat wave in Europe in August 2003, researchers have been investigating how cities can impl

Market economics, not degrowth, will enable sustainable societies. For economist Fredrik N G Andersson the answer is crystal clear – researchers advocating for degrowth are wrong. “They miss the mark by attacking growth instead of the actual problem,” he says. The subject of degrowth awakes a lot of interest. Its critics are as vocal as its proponents. Fredrik N G Andersson, assistant professor at

The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

Better than expected, but not without its challenges, especially socially. That’s how a couple of our students and staff tell the story of how we went from campus education to distance learning methods in a matter of days. Wednesday 18 March. The campus is still open to students and staff, but from now on very few, if any, lectures and group assessments are to be held here. Not today, and not duri

Using micro-designed soil models, researchers at Lund University and members of BECC, have investigated how tiny particles of polystyrene affect bacteria and fungi. Although this nanoplastic reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to 'clean up' its environment and mitigate the impact of the plastic. - Plastic waste is a huge problem today. Whether discarded carelessly

Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst. These are the words of Professor Carl Johan Fürst, head of the new Palliative Car

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have launched a free app to help map the spread of infection in Sweden and increase knowledge of the coronavirus. “Data from the app will give us a clearer picture of the development of the disease and why some people only experience mild symptoms while others get seriously ill and die”, says Paul Franks, professor of genetic epidemiology. It takes approxim
