Inkomst- och utbildningsnivån i uppväxtmiljön är det som avgör barns relation till naturen, och inte om barnen bor i stan eller på landet. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Resultatet går emot föreställningen att en uppväxt på landet per automatik ökar naturkontakten, samtidigt som studien visar att natur inpå knuten gynnar barns välmående. Det finns en generell oro för att människor

Forskare har för första gången identifierat en tidigare okänd försvarsmekanism i aggressiva hjärntumörer: en sockerrik sköld som omger tumörceller och som skyddar dem mot en särskilt destruktiv form av celldöd.

Med hjälp av maskininlärning och en stor mängd data om gener och befintliga läkemedel, har lundaforskare identifierat en kombination av statiner och fentiaziner som särskilt lovande vid behandling av den aggressiva formen av neuroblastom. I experimentella studier – i möss med mänskliga tumörceller – visade resultaten på bromsad tumörtillväxt och längre överlevnad. Ovanlig men allvarlig form av bar

Vad innehåller egentligen ett andetag – och hur påverkar luften vi andas vår hälsa och samhället i stort? Och hur skyddar vi oss från eventuella hot i den livsnödvändiga luften? Det är frågor som det nya forskningsprojekt ATLAS vill besvara genom att följa luftens påverkan från molekyl till samhälle. Projektet har fått Vetenskapsrådets ”Nätverksbidrag för planering av framtida excellenskluster för

Intensive efforts are being made in medical research to discover the genomic causes of undiagnosed hereditary diseases. Persistent work and new technology are providing answers to several previously unsolved, enigmatic neurological disorders. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 was one of these, but now a research team in Lund, Sweden, have identified the gene that is responsible. Almost half a million

Throughout our lives, our genes are affected by the way we live. Diet, exercise, age and diseases create imprints that are stored in something called methylome. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have been able to map the entire methylome in the pancreatic islets which produce insulin, and the researchers have made several important discoveries. U

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers at Lund University in Sweden. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit

Archaeologist Peter Jordan has together with colleagues from the UK and the US received the prestigious ERC Synergy Grant. The research aims to shed new light on the demography of hunter-gatherer societies, potentially shifting our understanding of human history over the past 10,000 years entirely. The project FORAGER will examine why certain hunter-gatherer societies experienced both population g

Choosing what to study can feel overwhelming – especially if you are not sure exactly what you want to do in the future. For Liza, student in the International Business programme at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), the decision became clear after learning more about Lund and visiting the city.

Interest in type 1 diabetes screening is growing as methods improve and new treatments become available to more patients. New research at Lund University demonstrates how screening for autoimmune diseases can be carried out on a large-scale basis. A new treatment that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the United States. If the treatment Teplizumab becomes availabl

Synchrotron radiation helps vision researcher Emily Baird create three-dimensional images of how insects see the world. In the future, this could lead to sighted drones that navigate through the air like insects, without being remote controlled from the ground. “I enjoy research more than anything, and the most fun part is that I am forced to be creative and make constant progress, says Emily Bair
