Fakultetskoordinatorn Helen Wiman har hållit en ström av flyktingar i handen de senaste två veckorna. Istället för att jobba på universitet har hon registrerat flyktingar för Migrationsverket. Spännande, givande – men också utmattande. Fakultetskoordinatorn Helen Wiman har under två veckor lånats ut till Migrationsverket där hon har registrerat asylsökande. – Barnfamiljerna rör mig mest, jag träff

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least

Mycket diabetesforskning handlar om att förstå vad som händer när de insulinproducerande cellerna förstörs. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har valt ett annat angreppssätt. Det går ut på att förstå vad som skyddar cellerna. I sin forskning visar de hur ett protein i kroppens immunförsvar skyddar de insulinproducerande cellerna från att inflammeras och dö. Studien som publiceras i PNAS är ett exempe

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en ny metod för att behandla alla humana herpesvirus. Den nya bredspektrum-metoden riktar sig mot fysikaliska egenskaper i virusets arvsmassa i stället för som i tidigare behandlingsmetoder, mot virala proteiner. Behandlingen består av nya molekyler som penetrerar virusets proteinhölje och hindrar generna från att lämna viruset för att infektera cellen. Det unika med
