Recently, MultiPark opened its doors to the local Parkinson’s Association, who were invited behind the scenes to see how research on their condition is conducted. Here are some of the laboratories that were visited. Today’s basic research on brain disorders such as Parkinson’s may be the starting point for tomorrow’s treatments. This may explain the participants’ deep interest in MultiPark’s exper

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Varje dag drabbas två barn av typ 1-diabetes i Sverige. Barnet blir allvarligt sjukt och ibland krävs intensivvårdsbehandling. Men så behöver det inte längre vara eftersom man numera kan förutse vem som har risk att insjukna. Typ 1-diabetes, eller autoimmun diabetes som forskarna vid Lunds universitet numera hellre

The current recession is affecting everyone, and the University and central administration are no exceptions. We, like many other organisations, are affected by cutbacks and a tough economic climate. The entire university sector is being asked to make savings of 0.5%. This is coming as inflation is high and many things have become more expensive: rents, equipment, licences, etc. Like other LU orga

När covid-19-pandemin svepte över världen 2020 blev mRNA-vaccinerna räddningen för många – men i bakgrunden fanns en annan, mindre känd hjälte: lipidnanopartikeln. Utan dessa små ”fettdroppar” hade vaccinet aldrig kunnat levereras in i kroppens celler. Och faktum är att den lär få fler uppdrag framöver. Det kan vara den som löser leverans av gensaxen och de nya genterapierna in i kroppen. När värl
