The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to fight disease and has great potential, both in cancer and in autoimmune diseases where established treatments are insufficient.To capitalise on this development, a joint hub for stakeholders in the fi

How do you measure biodiversity impacts from products and raw materials extracted in very different places around the world? Researcher Carla Coelho from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), and colleagues, developed a new way to estimate the impact of mines and quarries - and how much they actually perforate their surroundings habitats. Perforation - human activity that crea

It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There has been no known link between diabetes and vitamin A -- until now. A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function.The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A.

Early in the morning there was the sound of explosions and the sky lit up. Since 24 February 2022, Lund University has stood in solidarity with Ukraine’s universities. Are there lessons to be learned from the period when Kiev’s largest university had to rapidly adapt to war and a humanitarian crisis? This is an article from LTHIn (the Faculty of Engineering). LTH and Lund University recently recei

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Forskare vid Lunds Universitets Diabetescenter har upptäckt att hälften av den europeiska befolkningen bär på en genetisk variant som ökar risken att drabbas av typ 2-diabetes. Genvarianten styr cellernas bränsletillverkning. Upptäckten har tidigare beskrivits i en kortare text  på diabetesportalen.se (se länk nedan

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Graviditetsdiabetes är diabetes som uppkommer, eller först upptäcks, under en graviditet. Mellan 1 och 14 procent av alla gravida kvinnor runt om i världen drabbas av graviditetsdiabetes och i Sverige är det ungefär två procent. Här skriver Charlotta Nilsson om sin egen forskning. I Sverige behandlas graviditetsdiab

Symtombilden för olika neurodegenerativa sjukdomar liknar varandra och diagnostisering av åldersrelaterade kognitiva symtom är komplext. En patient kan ha flera överlappande sjukdomsprocesser i hjärnan samtidigt. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat en AI-modell som visar att det är möjligt att upptäcka flera neurodegenerativa sjukdomar från ett enda blodprov. Studien publiceras i Natur

Forskargruppen ”Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration” består av ett 15-tal forskare med fokus på kroniska lungsjukdomar. I gruppen utvecklar man bland annat olika metoder för att studera sjukdomsmodeller av exempelvis KOL och lungfibros. En av forskarna, John Stegmayr, har nu fått 700 000 kronor från Carl Tesdorfps Stiftelse för att vidareutveckla forskningen kring den svåra sjukdomen idiopatisk l

Parkinson’s disease, a condition whose complications worsen as the years go by, can mean that getting older becomes particularly challenging. How can life be made easier for these individuals, so that they can continue to be active and participate in society? This is the aim of a multi-year study that examines the interplay between health and home among people ageing with Parkinson’s disease. Sinc

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Inflammation is a natural reaction of the body’s immune system to an aggressor or an injury, but if the inflammatory response is too strong it becomes harmful. Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from Lu

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde
