In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene that produces this protein in mice, the amount of Alzheimer’s plaque and the inflam

In the current extraordinary situation, voluntary initiatives and ideas have taken off at Lund University, at several different faculties. Everyone is helping where they can. In times of significant pressures on society, many people want to contribute to ensure the functioning of healthcare and education.  When it became apparent that the paediatric emergency department in Lund, among others, had

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under the age of 16, which puzzles researchers who are now searching

Regelbundna undersökningar av kroppens förmåga att ta hand om en given mängd socker hos barn och ungdomar i riskzonen avslöjar att insjuknandet i typ 1 diabetes har ett utdraget förlopp med omväxlande perioder av normal och onormal sockeromsättning. De barn och ungdomar som är undersökta deltar i den amerikanska undersökningen Diabetes Prevention Trail-Type 1 och har alla en antikropp ICA (Islet C

Red-backed shrikes fly thousands of kilometres to reach Africa – and they do so with astonishing precision. Aided by new technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the birds’ journeys in detail. It turns out that they may have a more complex genetic migration programme than researchers have previously been able to show. “We can now follow a bird’s location through

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i

Individuals cannot solve the climate crisis, argue researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jack Coffin. Policy makers should direct their attention to the (im)moral market structures that influence consumer and corporate decision-making. In the fight against climate change, it is more important to make markets more moral than to make consumers more ethical. Individual consumers are, by now, well used to b

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Mellan 2003 och 2019 har nästan en fjärdedel av Sveriges sista gamla oskyddade naturliga skogar försvunnit. Med nuvarande skövlingstakt kommer dessa ekologiskt värdefulla skogar att vara borta om 50 år. Det visar en studie av bland andra forskare från Lunds och Umeå universitet. En mindre del av Sveriges oskyddade produktiva skogar består av gammal skog som sannolikt aldrig tidigare kalhuggits. De
