Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person to another. This can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

Most women will experience menopause at some point in their working lives. How can a workplace be set up to make things easier for employees going through their menopausal transition? A pilot project at Lund University is investigating the issue. Sweating, mood swings and poor sleep. Many women are adversely affected by menopause. According to a 2021 study published by the Swedish National Board o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Can tumors teach us about animal evolution on Earth? Researchers believe so and now present a novel hypothesis of why animal diversity increased dramatically on Earth about half a billion years ago. A biological innovation may have been key. A transdisciplinary and international team, from Lund University in Sweden an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Anne L'Huillier and Sara Snogerup Linse chair their respective Nobel Committees at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; Anne for Physics and Sara for Chemistry. Both have worked extensively at Lund University and are among the few women who are, or have been, committee chairs. Here they talk about how the work proce

Living forests with diverse plants and animals, forests where you can hike, hunt or pick berries and mushrooms – will they still be there when the pressure on forestry production increases? Is it possible to increase production in a sustainable way, without reducing the possibility of achieving environmental and sustainability goals? Great hopes are being placed in the forest to provide the raw ma

In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. Epigenetic mechanisms (see fact box) cont

Through molecular studies of knee tissue and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, researchers hope to gain new insights into the early development of osteoarthritis. The hope is to pave the way for new treatments. For almost five years, researchers in Lund have been collecting knee tissue from over 700 people in a biobank. With the support of the Skåne University Hospital Tissue Bank

Increasingly, industry is looking to recruit staff with doctoral degrees for research and development positions. This may involve hiring people with technical expertise in a specialist area and who also hold sufficient qualifications to independently run projects according to the company’s requirements. A newly graduated doctoral student who comes straight from academia may experience large cultur

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to fight disease and has great potential, both in cancer and in autoimmune diseases where established treatments are insufficient.To capitalise on this development, a joint hub for stakeholders in the fi

Lotta Gränse, ophthalmologist and researcher Lund University and Skåne University Hospital has demonstrated that eye drops containing cortisone can prevent the development of the very serious eye disease ROP in infants. This has revolutionised treatment and means that the majority of children in Sweden’s Southern Healthcare Region with severe ROP do not need conventional treatment under anaesthesi

The proposal from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) would see agricultural subsidies phased out for the activities that cause the most damage to the climate, whilst increasing carbon sequestration and introducing specified pricing for emissions. Five researchers from Lund University in Sweden share their views on whether the EU’s agri-food system can cope with the t

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

När det kungliga danska flaggskeppet Gribshunden sjönk i Blekinge skärgård vid slutet av 1400-talet, tog det med sig mängder av tidsdokument i sin grav. Med hjälp av medicinsk skiktröntgen – datortomografi – har Historiska museets numismatiker Gitte Ingvardson och arkeologen Brendan Foley lyckats undersöka fynden närmare. Gribshunden anses vara världens bäst bevarade fartyg av den typ som självast
