New Lund students are generally younger and have better educated parents than the average Swedish student. This emerges from the figures in a new LU report.

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

During the pandemic mediators and conflict parties have had to interact, discuss and even negotiate via computer screens. Women negotiators have benefited from this and describe how they experienced the virtual medium as a more equal space since it is more difficult for men to dominate with body language and appearance, for example. This is described by Isabel Bramsen and Anine Hagemann in the art

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
