This Regional Outlook focuses on the prospect for Israeli and Palestinian peace activism and how, during times of pressure, solidarity groups redress their methods. In the aftermath of October 7th, with Israeli hostages still in captivity and ongoing war, destruction and violence in Gaza, prospects for future peaceful coexistence in the region seem more distant than ever. In conjunction, Hamas’ ha

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Reprogramming Cancer Cells into Immune Cells Earlier research by the team showed that three special

The economic sanctions against Russian following the invasion of Ukraine are having spillover effects in Central Asia. With the prospect of economic and social strain forcing Russian employers to lay off migrant workers, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are preparing to receive high numbers of newly unemployed men. The fall of the  Russian rouble in March - as a consequence of Western sancti

If you have ever sniffed yourself dizzy at a perfume counter, you have perhaps also come across claims that pH values, fragrance notes and pheromones affect the scent. Are these and other claims true? And what is it that actually makes us smell nice – or nasty? Chemistry Professor Ulf Ellervik separates the scents fro

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

What happens when people meet? How do they interact? How do they react? Annika Nyman, lecturer at Malmö Theatre Academy, regards helping students to understand these things as the most important aspect of her teaching duties. Inside the Malmö Theatre Academy’s premises on Bergsgatan in Malmö, a group of acting students are busy rehearsing their degree project, a production that will be staged at B

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young

Work on Lund University's establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites.The project gro

Hunting in Sweden has a long history and could be considered a cultural heritage. Wildlife management and a sense of local community and stewardship are important keywords to describe recreational hunting. However, in recent years there has been an emerging market for commercial hunting, where hunters can buy the right to hunt on someone else’s land, where hospitality services and guiding are ofte

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

LUCSUS research tackles complex sustainability challenges, from the local to the global scale. Last year, in 2025, our researchers participated in many events and forums to present their work, including in conferences, panel debates and meetings – often in collaboration with actors outside of academia. LUCSUS outreach work aims to contribute to policy and drive social change. Global Health Symposi

Sprutbytet i Malmö startade för 35 år sedan och var då ett kontroversiellt projekt. Fram till 2006 var det förbjudet i svensk lag att bedriva sprutbyte på andra orter än Lund och Malmö. Men forskningen kring smittspridning talar sitt tydliga språk och idag finns sprutbyte på ett flertal platser i Sverige. Här erbjuds en svårnådd grupp behandling och på sikt en drogfri tillvaro.

New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi

Det gäller att se upp, eftersom det finns en del mindre nogräknade förlag på marknaden.

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De
