For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

By studying green algae in Swedish lakes, a research team, led by Lund University in Sweden, has succeeded in identifying which environmental conditions promote multicellularity. The results give us new clues to the amazing paths of evolution. The evolution of multicellular life has played a pivotal role in shaping biological diversity. However, we have up until now known surprisingly little about

The areas of research remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumer researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe developments in retail research over the past ten years. "In one of our latest reports, we call it “Retail as unusual”. There is no longer a ‘normal’ state in retail, no ‘business as usual’. Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the
