CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions. Swedish research contributes to improving public health in Japan.– Through long-term and careful work, we have been able to transfer it to a very different cultural co

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. All diabetics who developed the disease before the age of six months should be tested for a certain genetic mutation. Some of them might not need insulin injections but could manage their disease just as well, or better, with a simple tablet. “Neonatal diabetes is an uncommon form of diabetes caused by a genetic mutat

In 2019, the University established a project for open science. The project has resulted in a report and now it is up to us at the University to discuss how to move forward with the proposals. The project’s goal was, among other things, to “investigate different options for how LU could structure its work on open science.” How we approach open science depends primarily on what we want to achieve,

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a new, updated version of a global climate model that will increase understanding of global warming. Through the new model, one can now look at how land use and changes to vegetation can influence, and be influenced by, climate change. It is the first time th

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Thousands of people could be spared from a hip fracture each year if a new method to identify the risk of osteoporotic fractures were to be introduced in healthcare. This is the view of the researchers at Lund University in Sweden who are behind a new 3D-simulation method. The results were recently published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Osteoporosis causes 120,000 bone fractures in
