Att sova mycket på natten och att ta långa tupplurar på dagen kan vara kopplat till sämre kognitiva förmågor visar ny forskning där 5631 deltagare medverkat från fem olika nordiska studier från ”the National E-infrastructure for Aging Research” (NEAR)*.(Overton et al., 2023) Människan sover nästan en tredjedel av livet och sömnen är en grundläggande faktor för vår hälsa och välbefinnande.

Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity. Like when the city of Malmö fails to create simple entry-level jobs because of unreasonable demands on people who want to start mobile food trucks. “That is how the sluggish Swedish labour market works. If we dared to shake up the regulations we would gain a lot

Anne L'Huillier and Sara Snogerup Linse chair their respective Nobel Committees at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; Anne for Physics and Sara for Chemistry. Both have worked extensively at Lund University and are among the few women who are, or have been, committee chairs. Here they talk about how the work process to select the Nobel Prize winner has been kept a secret, about a report that h

Henrik Smith tilldelas Marsh Awards for Ecology av British Ecological Society. Priset uppmärksammar hans långvariga insatser för att utveckla ekologisk forskning och för att stärka kopplingen mellan vetenskap och samhälle. Han själv betonar vikten av att forskningen interagerar med samhället – tiden är förbi när det räckte att skriva en tung studie som sedan stod och samlade damm. Motiveringen til

New research is underway at Lund University, led by Dr. Vivien Horvath, a postdoctoral researcher at Lund Stem Cell Center. Supported by a new grant from the Collaborative Center for X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP), Vivien aims to improve our understanding of XDP, a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by the recent insertion of a transposable element. Transposable elements, also known as '

A recent publication by MultiPark researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center gives a closer look at the making of a novel stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s Disease, STEM-PD, which has been approved for a Phase I/IIa clinical trial in Europe. Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects almost 8 million people worldwide, causing movement difficulties due to the loss

Love poems, playing cards and secret notes. For half a millennium, people who have attended mass at Lund Cathedral have found ways to pass the time when the sermons felt too slow. In a few years, the Lund University Historical Museum will introduce a new cabinet of curiosities, containing notes and strange objects which have fallen down or been hidden between the choir stalls inside the Cathedral.

Half as many diagnosed with depression, a delayed manifestation of Parkinson’s, a reduced risk of developing vascular dementia - but not Alzheimer’s. These connections were discovered by researchers when they compared 200 000 people who had participated in a long-distance cross-country ski race between 1989 and 2010 with a matched cohort of the general population. The results of the population reg

Previous research has shown that there may be a connection between daily physical education and improved study performance. A new extensive study from Lund University in Sweden has shown the same connection, but for boys in particular. The project involved several primary school classes in which the pupils participated in physical education on a daily basis, equivalent to a little more than three

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

Carlson Leandry Mutajwaa from Tanzania is currently studying the Master's Programme with specialisation Retail. We asked him what he thinks about his studies, student life in Helsingborg and why he choose to study Retail. What is the best thing about your programme? There is so many layers to uncover when describing the uniqueness of this master program. First and far most is the international div
In recent years, the circular economy has become a guiding principle in industrial and environmental policies. But how good is it really? The definition of a circular economy is unclear and lacks substance, according to a team of researchers from Lund University and the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. It risks becoming counterproductive, unless we stop referring to it as a panacea for all
