Hello Ian Manners! Lund University has recently committed itself to student-centred education to improve the quality of learning and teaching on campus. Could you tell us more about the motivation behind this focus? – Certainly! Lund University aims to create a learning environment where students are at the heart of the educational process, and a crucial part of that is the implementation of activ

With over 15 research groups dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease research, MultiPark’s goal is to understand the origins of the disease, develop early diagnostics, and improve treatments. The multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the disease from several angles, bridging basic research with clinical investigations. Here are five projects. September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Globally, around 40

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

They govern everything we think and do, they give us the ability to feel pain and to secrete insulin: they are the ion channels that are present in every one of our cells and that control the electrical impulses in our nerve and muscle cells. “For me, they are the very spark of life”, says Dame Frances Ashcroft, profe

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information

Ju mer socker vi äter, desto färre vitaminer och mineraler får vi i oss, visar ny forskning från Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum. Men forskarna anser inte att deras studie ensam räcker som underlag för ändra dagens kostrekommendationer om hur mycket tillsatt socker vi bör äta. Högt intag av socker är kopplat till

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials.
