Den årliga Hållbarhetsveckan i Lund närmar sig, med ett rikt program även i år. Från Konstnärliga fakulteten hittar vi musik, performance och konstnärlig forskning i interaktiva evenemang som vill mer än att informera - de vill beröra.Hållbarhet är ett mångfacetterat område som sträcker sig långt bortom naturvetenskapen. Begreppet omfattar även konstnärliga, existentiella och sociala perspektiv. F
Almedals Week is just around the corner, and The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University is taking place on stage. This year’s program offers everything from quantum technology and biotechnology to semiconductors and the future of aviation. Annika Olsson, Dean at The Faculty of Engineering, will be in Visby. She says:“If we are to succeed in the transition to a sustainable and competitive societ

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol
A recent study conducted by researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center, and published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, has unraveled the intricate inner workings of UM171—a molecule known for its ability to support blood stem cells. These findings not only highlight UM171's potential as a therapeutic solution for various diseases, including cancer, but also provide new insights

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease make up the world’s most common diseases. A new biobank at Lund University in Sweden - the largest of its kind - with stem cells from both those affected and healthy individuals, will contribute to an increased understanding of how these diseases arise. “The goal is for researchers to be able to develop new treatments that can p

Important pieces of the puzzle to understand what drives diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are still missing today. One crucial obstacle for researchers is that it is impossible to examine a living brain cell in someone who is affected by the disease. With the help of a new method for cell conversion, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a way to produce diseased, aging b
