Seeing a lot of talk about the importance of gut health? These are the latest findings, including those on food and supplements Weighing in at nearly two kilos, our gut bacteria seem to play an even bigger role than was previously thought. These bacteria can influence our mood and act as a communication centre. Gut microbiota researchers Åsa Håkansson and Frida Fåk Hållenius at Lund University in

Research from Lund University in Sweden can explain why type 2 diabetes is inherited to a greater extent from an individual’s mother. The heredity of a previously known risk gene, THADA, has proven to be dominant if it comes from the mother, whereas it has little or no effect on the child’s risk of disease if it originates from the father.
“Our research contributes to increased knowledge about the

Today Sarai-Anne Ikenze succesfully defended her doctoral thesis ‘Policy Choices in African Structural Adjustment: An Exploration of Sectoral Continuity’, in which she descriptively demonstrates significant continuity over time in terms of which sectors were prioritized and the policy approaches used to structure economic activity within those sectors in ten Sub-Saharan African countries between t

Does your manager know what you do at work, what challenges you have and how well you performed your tasks? If not, you have a chance to tell it in the upcoming follow-up discussion, deadline October 4. "But it is in the continuous conversation during the year that you can influence your work tasks," says HR partner Sara Skogar. Every year, the University conducts a salary review to review the sal

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

Edouard Berrocal, a researcher in combustion physics at Lund University, has been awarded one of the most prestigious grants available to young researchers: an ERC Starting Grant. The grant is worth EUR 1.5 million and will enable him to spend the next five years investigating what happens in the crucial moment at the start of combustion when the liquid fuel is injected into the chamber and vapori

For the first time, a unique study conducted at Lund University in Sweden has tracked the meteorite flux to Earth over the past 500 million years. Contrary to current theories, researchers have determined that major collisions in the asteroid belt have not generally affected the number of impacts with Earth to any great extent. Researchers have been studying geological series since the 19th centur

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, IIIEE, is taking the lead on open, month-long online courses, known as MOOCs. The investment in MOOCs has been quite a success. In recent years, every sixth student has stated that the online courses influenced them to apply for one of the IIIEE’s traditional courses or programmes.

His ambition is to awaken our longing for a life which doesn’t revolve around wage labour. “If I had a citizen’s salary, I would do the same things I do now – read, write and have an occasional go with a scrubbing-brush, to make life more real. Others might play computer games, which would of course be perfectly OK”, says sociologist Roland Paulsen, who has become a bit of a standard-bearer for th

Using harmless viruses to insert genes that produce healthy, healing substances into the brain... transplanting cells, possibly from the patient’s own skin... or, most sci-fi of all, controlling special treated nerve cells with light signals in the brain. These are three different paths to a possible treatment for epilepsy that are being tested by a research group in Lund. To help them, the resear
