Master's student Hannes Olsson is currently studying his last semester at the civil engineering programme of Industrial Management and Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering. He is studying a Master's in Supply Chain Management and did his degree project within Artificial Intelligence – without earlier knowledge in the field. Six months ago, Hannes was asked by his friend Joel from the Computer

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

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions. Swedish research contributes to improving public health in Japan.– Through long-term and careful work, we have been able to transfer it to a very different cultural co

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply. Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Lymfödem efter huvud- och halscancer, är betydligt vanligare än man tidigare antagit och kan kvarstå länge efter avslutad cancerbehandling. Forskare vid Lunds universitet, har upptäckt att patienter med lägre fysisk aktivitet löper en högre risk att utveckla lymfödem. De har även sett att en lymfscanner objektivt mäter förändringar i tillståndet - en metod som nu har börjat användas i Södra sjukvå
