Arkeologen Greer Jarrett forskar på att rekonstruera vikingarnas seglings­rutter och kartografi. För att göra det har han lärt sig att segla båtar lika vikingatidens skepp och gett sig ut till havs. Han liknar den tidens sjömän vid nutida extrem­sportare. – Jag hade påbörjat ett ganska teoretiskt avhandlingsarbete med att rekonstruera vikingarnas seglingsrutter, men ville ha praktisk erfarenhet ur

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar hur offentliga organisationer kan tillämpa vissa principer i sin kommunikation för att stärka förtroende för myndigheter. Kommunikation är grunden för en organisations existens. Organisationer manifesteras också genom byggnader, maskiner och viktiga papper. Men slutar medarbetare och chefer att kommunicera med varandra och omvärlden upphör organisationen.U

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Arbetshästen Philip Warkander blev Sveriges första doktor i modevetenskap. Att forska i ett nytt ämne beskriver han som att ständigt tvivla – något han också gör på den akademiska världens fokus på hårt arbete. För som kringflyttande forskare märkte han en dag att den klassiska mansfällan slagit igen – vänner och in

Why are some people with obesity protected from type 2 diabetes? Who is at risk of developing gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes? The Hjelt Diabetes Foundation awards two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre grants for projects that are seeking new answers to these questions. Gestational diabetes happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin during pregnancy. The con

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs. Paul Bourgine is

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way. The lack of money might be the result of pandemics, war, natural disasters, financial crises or poverty. Ester Barinaga, professor of entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Manag
