För första gången har forskare kunnat visa hur en cell stänger dörren för fria radikaler – små syremolekyler som ibland behövs, men som även kan skada våra celler. Studien publiceras i Nature Communications och är ledd från Lunds universitet. För att våra celler ska fungera behöver de hålla en noggrann balans mellan nyttiga och skadliga syremolekyler, så kallade fria radikaler. En av de mest centr

Medicinska fakulteten bevarar idag den så kallade Bromanska samlingen vid Arkivcentrum Syd. Samlingen är en rest från medicinsk forskning på 1920–50-talen och består av konserverade foster och fullgångna spädbarn. Efter anmodan från Medicinska fakultetens styrelse har nu rektor beslutat att samlingen ska avvecklas och foster och barn ges en värdig begravning på Norra Kyrkogården och en minnessten

Ett internationellt forskarlag som har letts från Lunds universitet, har identifierat epigenetiska biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer med typ 2-diabetes som riskerar att få hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Studien publiceras nu i Cell Reports Medicine. Personer med typ 2-diabetes har upp till fyra gånger högre risk att få hjärtinfarkt, stroke, kärlkramp och andra kranskärlssjukdomar än friska person

On 17 December, the Faculty Board decided on the Faculty of Science’s continued work regarding a potential establishment in Science Village. This means that it will not support the continued planning of Nanolab Science Village (Stage 1). The decision is based, among other things, on the report "Assessment of Critical Mass for Establishment in Science Village", which highlights both the opportuniti

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

The Islamic presence in Europe is becoming normalised. But integration also leads to increased conflict, according to Oliver Scharbrodt, Lund University’s new professor of Islamic Studies. Oliver Scharbrodt came to the University last spring after taking up Sweden’s only professorship in Islamic Studies. “I was attracted by the fact that Lund is one of Europe’s classic top universities and that th

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved. If all goes according to plan, the University Library interior will be both better and more beautiful when all is complete in time for the start of the autumn semester 2024. There

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats against researchers are increasing, according to acting chief security officer Håkan Jönsson, who received 16 reports of threats last year. The rise is in online threats, whereas the number of disruptive or violent people on campus is dropping – probably thanks to more locked doors. “But the hidden figures are
