From internal training courses for university lecturers in which the participants take a deep dive into case method teaching, to dedicated conferences and competitions. The alternatives to traditional classroom teaching are increasing and one of them is known as case method teaching, with assignments based on real situations which students must solve in collaboration. April was high season for cas

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. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

Despite a widespread and outdated view of older people, and an abundance of stereotypes, awareness of what is known as ageism is limited. A new short guide gives tips for how you can use your communication to counter discrimination against older people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have been highlighting ageism for almost 20 years. Put simply, ageism can be descr

During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year. The disease has major consequences for the f

Epigenetics has become an important tool for researchers endeavoring to understand the causes and development stages of type 2 diabetes. In the future, epigenetic biomarkers could be used to predict type 2 diabetes and individualise its treatment. Diabetes and epigenetics researchers at Lund University summarise some of the most important advancements in a review article published in Nature Review

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

By blocking a protein, VDAC1, in the insulin-producing beta cells, it is possible to restore their normal function in case of type 2 diabetes. In preclinical experiments, the researchers behind a new study have also shown that it is possible to prevent the development of the disease. The findings are published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. The researchers at Lund University in Sweden

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Amanda Moberg In Amanda Moberg´s MFA exhibition ”The paths are a pattern only the weaves can see” I was meet by numerous works, all navigating around weaving as a focus point. The works seemed to be engaged with how the notion of weaving comes from language itself and how language can be shifted into new meanings, forms and questions. In French for example, text and textile share the same etymolog
