It is still unclear how much students and staff will be on campus in the autumn, but a gradual return is being planned. Discussions are also being held as to whether technical and administrative staff will be able to continue working from home after the pandemic. At the University, teaching staff and researchers have long been able to choose to work from home when that was most effective for them

Carin Alegre Castegren When entering the lower gallery (KHM1) of Malmö Art Academy to see the MFA exhibition entitled “Tremeluz” by Carin Maria Alegre Castegren, I was met by numerous paintings, which all seemed to be in a state of flux. They had a lightness to them, an openness as well as something allusive. When reading the exhibition text, it was clear that Castegren had been thinking of light

The finding of a new genetic risk variant and the description of the exact underlying mechanism explains, on a molecular level, the connection between stress and diabetes. This scientific breakthrough is published online today in the journal Science. Carriers of the risk variant have stressed insulin producing cells which greatly reduces their ability to secrete insulin. Further, making the findin

He is checking out at the same fighting weight as when he checked in, and does the same number of push-ups (40!) now as he did then. He has been through several tough rounds and had to fight to defend his convictions and his views on the University’s development. Per Eriksson summarises his time as vice-chancellor as “six years of incredibly great joy, development, pressure and intensity”. There w

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Depression, dizziness, difficulty focusing the gaze and balance problems. Many professional athletes who have sustained head trauma in sports have lingering symptoms that affect everyday life. Little help has been available as the cause has been unknown. A clinical study from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the problems originate in an injury to the vestibular nerve. Athletes in contac

In the late 1980s and over the 1990s, researchers at Lund University in Sweden pioneered the transplantation of new nerve cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease. The outcomes proved for the first time that transplanted nerve cells can survive and function in the diseased human brain. Some patients showed marked improvement after the transplantation while others showed moderate

In Skåne, newborn babies can be screened for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease (gluten intolerance). More than expected have been found to have an increased risk of developing these diseases, and about thirty children have already been recruited for research studies aimed at lowering this risk. Large-scale screening of newborn children in Skåne started in the summer of 2018 and will last until 20

We have an innate mechanism that ensures that our blood vessels do not become blocked. The protein A1M, alpha-1-microglobulin, is naturally present in the body and prevents oxidation of blood fats – a major cause of atherosclerosis. The discovery is the work of a research group led by Professor Bo Åkerström from Lund University. VIDEO: How 'cleaner' protein protects us“Atherosclerosis is largely c

Framtiden för arbetslivet i Europa benas ut i en ny antologi som med hjälp av olika forskare tittar på framförallt tre stora omställningar som sker i arbetslivets just nu. Dessa omställningar beror på tre oundvikliga fenomen: pandemin, klimatet och digitaliseringen. Fyra lundasociologer bidrar med kapitel i boken. Aldrig i modern tid har det arbetande Europa ställts inför så grundläggande förändri

On-trend clothes that you only wear a few times – in the beginning of the 2000s the fashion industry started speeding up production. Today, it accounts for around 10 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions and criticism is being directed at the industry for not taking responsibility for its social and environmental impact. The big question is; can fashion become sustainable? Technological deve

Många personer med cystisk fibros insjuknar vid ung ålder i diabetes. Varför har hittills till stora delar varit okänt men nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum och Karolinska institutet kartlagt en molekylär mekanism som bidrar till den förhöjda diabetesrisken. - Den ökade risken för diabetes har tidigare förklarats med att sjukdomen cystisk fibros i sig leder till skador på buks

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

One in four people suffer from osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disease. Although guidelines have long existed regarding how osteoarthritis should be treated, only half of patients undergo the recommended basic treatment. A new thesis from Lund University shows that the existing guidelines are very helpful to osteoarthritis patients. Osteoarthritis can affect anyone, and becomes more common after t

Enäggstvillingar delar samma DNA, men är inte identiskt lika. En tvilling kan vara sjuk i typ-2 diabetes, medan den andra tvillingen inte utvecklar sjukdomen. En studie som har letts av Lunds universitet har nu upptäckt att det finns skillnader i genernas aktivitet hos tvillingar med och utan typ 2-diabetes. Forskarnas upptäckt kan bidra till utvecklingen av nya behandlingsmetoder. – Enäggstvillin

Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure were reversed? In the light of the #metoo movement’s many testimonies, LUM sat down

How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers.  “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the research is not fulfilled if we are not honest.”  Robots pique the imagination and
