Broderade blygdkapslar, arméinspirerade t-shirts och folkliga sneakers. Att använda kläder för att befästa sin politiska position är inget nytt. Det menar modehistorikern Emma Severinsson från Lunds universitet. Angela Merkel lyckades med den ovanliga bedriften att kombinera uniformsliknande dräkter med sprakande färgkavalkad. Hennes karakteristiska set och byxdressar, skapade av designern Bettina

Ett enda elområde eller kanske ett femte? Elområdena i Sverige har länge varit hett omdiskuterade. Nu har regeringen tillsatt en ny utredning för att undersöka olika förslag som kan få väldigt olika konsekvenser för elpriset i olika delar av landet. Forskaren Hannes Sonnsjö reder ut för- och nackdelar med de olika alternativen. Dagens fyra områden har i många år varit rejält omdebatterad. Framför

When Crafoord Prize laureate Veerabhadran Ramanathan visited Lund on 18 May, he combined personal reflections with a powerful scientific message: understanding aerosols and greenhouse gases is key to tackling climate change, but solving the crisis will require new approaches, broad collaboration, and urgent public engagement. On Monday, May 18, Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Distinguished Professor (Eme

Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

Have you ever wondered what it takes to grow a brain in a petri dish or how scientists use viruses to fight genetic diseases? These are just some of the fascinating topics explored on UniStem Day 2023 at Lund Stem Cell Center in Sweden. On 10 March 2023, more than 220 high school students from across Sweden's southern Skåne region arrived at Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University for a day of le

In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

Rare diseases present a substantial challenge for healthcare systems, as their high clinical heterogeneity and low prevalence complicate the accumulation of knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment. Sweden is now implementing RaraSwed, the Swedish national rare disease quality registry, to facilitate the extraction of homogenous data and promote healthcare equity. In Sweden, more than 500,000 i

New biomarkers are making it easier to detect Alzheimer’s disease and improve diagnosis, which is increasingly important as new treatments become available. MultiPark researchers are also developing an AI model that could detect several dementia-related conditions from a single blood test. At the same time, MultiPark researchers are exploring how dementia might be prevented, including why brain in

Recently published findings from Lund University in Sweden challenge a common assumption about the causes of fatigue in teenage girls. The researchers found no link between iron deficiency and fatigue, even though iron deficiency was very common in the group. By contrast, heavy periods, skipping meals and daily nicotine use were linked to higher levels of self-reported tiredness in the group. We h
