We have spoken with two specialist physiotherapists who are experts in "osteoarthritis school" (Swedish: artrosskola). Many people turn to us to ask what osteoarthritis school is, how it works, and where they can sign up. We hope to answer some of the most common questions about it. Elin Östlind is a specialist physiotherapist in orthopedics and works at a healthcare center. Elin has worked in pri

Is the world becoming a better place? Carlota Perez does not respond to this question. Instead, she explains how we are making it better. And hope is ignited in the eyes of the young members of the audience during Debatt i Lund. “The threat of climate change can be turned into an opportunity. Green economic growth will provide lots of new jobs and a good life for people, not only in the West but a

Per Nordén is not really new to the job of chief security officer. He started working at Lund University’s security division seventeen years ago, staying until 2007, when he took a break. During his twelve-year absence, he worked in the municipality of Kävlinge and most recently at Tetra Pak. The reason for his return is that he very much enjoyed working at Lund University. From the 26th of June h

After several years of reduced air travel due to the Covid pandemic, business trips involving flights have now risen to about the same level as before the pandemic. In other words, the goal of a 50 per cent reduction by the end of 2023 is remote, and new activities are needed to reduce the climate impact of air travel, which is one of the largest single emission sources linked to Lund University s

In his book "the Brand Matrix" Mats Urde presents a model that lies in the intersection between strategy, marketing and organization. The subtitle foretells, “Corporate Brand Leadership Starts from the Inside.” “There are nine questions that help you define your brand’s identity. Answer them and you will have a brand with a clear identity core that works as a stepping stone for communicating and t

New research is underway at Lund University, led by Dr. Vivien Horvath, a postdoctoral researcher at Lund Stem Cell Center. Supported by a new grant from the Collaborative Center for X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP), Vivien aims to improve our understanding of XDP, a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by the recent insertion of a transposable element. Transposable elements, also known as '

Även om Sverige har kommit långt, finns det alltid mer att göra för att skapa ett mer inkluderande samhälle. Det stod klart när tillgänglighetsforskaren Mikiko Terashima från Dalhousie University, Kanada gästade en CASE Scientific Session vid Lunds universitet. Terashima leder forskningsenheten Planering och design för jämlikhet, inkludering och hälsa i samhället (PEACH). Hon forskar på metoder so

Hundar har med framgång tränats för att larma om blodsockerfall långt innan matte eller husse själv känner något. Nu visar engelska forskare att många hundar gör det spontant. Visste man hur de gör kanske det vore möjligt att konstruera ett instrument som gör samma sak, menar forskarna. Ett stort och ibland farligt problem för många diabetiker är att de inte i tid känner och reagerar på när blodso

Blodet skiljer sig åt mellan yngre och äldre individer. I en nyligen publicerad artikel i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Blood beskriver en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet hur de har lyckats föryngra blodet hos möss genom att backa, eller programmera om, de stamceller som producerar blod. Stamceller ger upphov till alla kroppens celler och kan dela sig ett obegränsat antal gånger. När stamceller

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en lovande nanoteknikbaserad metod för att leverera biomolekyler till mänskliga blodstamceller. Metodens förmåga att bibehålla cellernas funktion utan någon negativ påverkan har stor potential inom både grundforskning och kliniska tillämpningar. Utvecklingen av nya terapeutiska biomolekyler – som gensaxen CRISPR – har gått otroligt snabbt de senaste åre

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

Natural solutions to combat climate change are perceived as beneficial to both nature and people simultaneously. But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to new research from LUCSUS. In his PhD thesis from Lund University Centre for Sustai

An international research collaboration led by researchers from the Universities of Helsinki and Oxford has identified the biological mechanism through which a genetic variant protects against type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, finds that changes in a gene which makes zinc transporter proteins reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin secretion from
