The battle for real democracy in the Middle East will largely be decided in schools. The role of education in a democracy was also the theme of a workshop in Alexandria, where Swedish researchers met their Egyptian counterparts. The USI network organised the event on a hot topic in a country that needs to fight for democracy if it is to take root.   “Democracy in Egypt isn’t going to work unless p

Gabriel Börner spelade hellre flipperspel än pluggade på gymnasiet och kom därför inte in på läkarlinjen. Idag är han överläkare i kirurgi på Helsingborgs lasarett och forskare vid Lunds universitet. Han har uppfunnit en ”symaskin” för att sy ihop patienter efter en bukoperation. Även om vägen dit var längre än han hade kunnat föreställa sig, har han haft väldigt roligt. I alla fall nästan alltid.

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a

Five years ago, shared e-scooters arrived in big Swedish cities almost overnight. Today, they are as debated, as they are a familiar sight of the city landscape. In his doctoral thesis, Phil Justice Flores has investigated why people use shared micromobility such as e-scooters and e-bikes. His research shows that for many people, shared electric scooters are used because they contribute to positiv

So far, the way dolphins navigate, find food and socialise using sound signals has baffled researchers. Josefin Starkhammar, senior lecturer at the Division for Biomedical Engineering, together with colleagues, has now developed an algorithm which brings us closer to understanding the cetaceans’ phenomenal signalling system. In future, the new algorithm could be used to protect dolphins and to dev

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap

I nästa vecka håller FN ett toppmöte om Agenda 2030. Tidigare studier har visat att arbetet mot agendans 17 hållbarhetsmål går dåligt. Därför föreslår en grupp forskare fyra reformer för att vända utvecklingen. Reformerna publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Science. År 2015 antog FN:s medlemsstater Agenda 2030 med 17 mål för en hållbar global utveckling. Målen ska uppnåtts, eller vara på go
