The national 7T MR facility is one of about 100 similar ultra-high field MR scanners for human use in the world. The facility recently underwent a major state-of-the-art upgrade that will ensure that the facility remains at the forefront of ultra-high field MR research, enabling ground-breaking studies across a wide range of fields. Thus, as the national 7T MR facility celebrates its 10-year anniv

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

LUCSUS researchers spent the last four years collaborating with Indigenous communities in Colombia to document how traditional knowledge can support biocultural diversity and wildlife in the Amazon. The project culminated in a final workshop in February 2026. Global discussions on protecting the Amazon rainforest often focus on carbon storage and forest cover. In a recent study, Torsten Krause and

As nuclear power once again takes centre stage in the energy debate, the demand for new knowledge is growing. At Lund University, a new six‑year research project is now being launched to examine what future reactor technologies will mean for the environment, safety and society. Backed by SEK 27 million in new funding from the Swedish Research Council, the initiative will enable researchers to esta

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Högt blodtryck skadar våra blodkärl. Det skadar också vårt hjärta, vår hjärna och våra njurar. Ett högt blodtryck ökar också risken att drabbas av hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Exakt varför högt blodtryck är farligt vet man dock inte. – Skälet till det är att vi länge haft effektiva blodtryckssänkande mediciner, och då h

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

Genom våra sinnen upplever och tolkar vi världen. Men med åldern försämras sinnena och det händer också att vi förlorar funktionen av ett sinne på grund av sjukdom eller en skada. Här reflekterar sju av Lunds universitets sinnesforskare över våra sinnen och hur vi i viss mån kan träna upp ett försvagat sinne.

This CMES Regional Outlook (2026:1) by Hebatalla Taha and Dina Tawfik examines Iran’s nuclear posture beyond assumptions of weaponisation, highlighting its pursuit of nuclear latency and the implications for diplomacy and regional dynamics. There is a tendency to assume that Iran wants ‘the bomb’. This claim has been repeated – in the press and in some policy circles – with little nuance. However,

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic
