Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

In the early 1950s, no one knew what caused Parkinson's disease. Then, Arvid Carlsson's discovery of dopamine opened the door to world-leading transplantations for Parkinson's patients. Thanks to the pioneering basic research at MultiPark, stemcell-derived neural cells can now be tested in a clinical trial for the first time. In Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in an area of the brain that con

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c
