Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har seglat upp som ett av vår tids hetaste forskningsområden. I sin avhandling har Louise Brunkwall, nutritionist och forskare i genetisk epidemiologi vid Lunds universitet, studerat övervikt, fetma och kostens betydelse i relation till våra tarmbakterier. Fetma uppkommer när energiintaget i det vi äter är större än den energi vi förbrukar. Men förmågan att b

Skatt på förmögenhet eller på kött? Basinkomt eller inkomstak? Hur långt är vi beredda att gå för att leva socialt och ekologiskt hållbart och skruva ner på takten i konsumtionssamhället? Inte särskilt långt visar en studie av forskare i socialt arbete vid Lunds universitet. Max Koch är professor i socialt arbete och forskar om hållbar välfärd och ekonomisk nerväxt, på engelska degrowth. Han, med

Irene Kaltenborn In KHM1 gallery Irene Kaltenborn´s MFA exhibition Choreographies towards loss set the stage for the audience to enter artworks which echoed loss and a void, full of wonderment and poetics. The gallery was dimly lit and kept minimal, leaving room for the viewer to enter the web of interconnectedness between animals, humans and nature.       What has the process been like creating y

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

On 03 March 2023, Jenny Mattsson defended her Ph.D. thesis. With the goal to broaden the availability of antibody-based drugs for patients with cancer and other diseases, she has spent the past several years working to develop new methods that can be used to identify new antibodies and antibody targets. In this interview, we learn more about her research, how she has simultaneously juggled doing a

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism.

Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med
