Den senaste tiden har det i medierna debatterats huruvida löpning är skadligt för hjärtat eller inte. Vi har ställt frågan till Margrét Leósdóttir, forskare vid Lunds universitet och överläkare i kardiologi vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Behöver man vara orolig för förmaksflimmer som löpare? Eller att drabbas av plötsligt hjärtstopp om man tränar hård löpning?– Som med all belastning på kroppen f

The University’s Annual Academic Ceremony on 23 January 2026 saw Denmark’s former head of state, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, made an Honorary Fellow of Lund University. Honorary fellows at the University are extremely rare (former Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson is the only previous recipient of the title) and for a Danish Queen to be made an Honorary Fellow this time around seemed a hi

We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study published in The Lancet HIV shows that HIV-2 is more pathogenic than previously demonstrated. The new findings indicate that early treatment should be applied to all patients with HIV, not only to those with HIV-1. “The study is unique in that we have followed cohort of study participants frequently over a lon

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovi

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply.   Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo
