Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

Every year since 1999, the Master’s students in Industrial Design at Lund University have done what most design students around the world can only dream of – go to NASA in Houston, Texas, USA and study at the Johnson Space Center. There they design products for an extreme environment – namely, space. “The missions to Mars that the students from Lund have been studying will happen somewhere between

The owlet, little over three weeks old, squints slightly as Hannah Watson lays it on its back in a plastic container that once held vanilla ice cream. It seems quite happy there. Things get a little trickier when the owlet is to be measured, weighed and swabbed for bacterial samples from both front and behind. Finally, a little prick with a needle to see whether it is a male or female, and whether

The students are not satisfied with the University's system for quality assurance of education. "It does not maintain the high and even quality that we would like", says Ella Sjöbeck, vice president of LUS, the umbrella organisation for Lund University's students' unions. At issue is the national review of the quality assurance work of higher education institutions currently being conducted at mos

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain amount of energy that either drains or fills during the working day. "I would like

Different values, cultures and language. Leading an international research group comes with additional challenges. Margareta Sandahl and Charlotta Turner are deliberately developing the emotional expertise in their group. "It pays off in terms of energy, even if it takes time. Furthermore, the doctoral students develop not just as people, but also as future leaders", says Margareta Sandahl. Margar

Internationalisation has become more important – and more complex – in recent years. In a world where democracy and academic freedom are under threat, Lund University needs to take greater responsibility for its international collaboration, according to International Coordinator Pär Svensson. In recent years, the focus on internationalisation, through the Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) approach i

What are AI writing tools and how do they affect our assessments? Three main options for considering AI writing tools in assessment are: 1. to ban their use, 2. to assume that they may be used, and set tasks which incorporate them or 3. require them to be used – to fully incorporate the tools in the assessment.

The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are appointed and the 156 research environments are organised. In January, the self-

Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion.  Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity.    "It has always been Africa.

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

The AI ​​chat can answer questions, translate, write code, or write an exciting short story. The possibilities fascinate and perhaps worry some, but what is ChatGPT really about? "The way I see it, the chat bot mainly fulfills two functions; as a coach and as a productivity tool," says Björn Svensson, Director of studies and lecturer in informatics at LUSEM.
