Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,

Technology adoption for active and healthy ageing, through a generational lens (half-time review Jens Offerman). Technology plays and will play an important role in promoting active and healthy ageing for current and future generations of older adults. However, very few studies highlight the specific knowledge needed to use different kinds of technologies and there is a lack of research addressing

It is not easy to make ends meet for many smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Everyday life is a complex management of many activities, especially for women, such as providing, preparing and cooking food; provide water and energy for cooking; manage farm activities; rearing children; and not least ensure that the family is healthy. Ill-health can easily tip families into abject poverty. Imp

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing. The CASE researchers, associate professors Gunilla Carlsson, Connie Lethin and Agneta Malmgren Fänge, have in previou

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.

CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions. Swedish research contributes to improving public health in Japan.– Through long-term and careful work, we have been able to transfer it to a very different cultural co

Insects have difficulties handling the higher temperatures brought on by climate change, and might risk overheating. The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects cannot regulate their own body temperature, which is instead strongly influenced by the temperature in the

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt samband mellan exponering för PFAS och utveckling av astma. Resultaten visar att bland de barn vars mammor hade mycket hög PFAS-exponering under graviditeten var risken för astma betydligt högre än hos barn vars mammor hade lägre PFAS-exponering.
