Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats against researchers are increasing, according to acting chief security officer Håkan Jönsson, who received 16 reports of threats last year. The rise is in online threats, whereas the number of disruptive or violent people on campus is dropping – probably thanks to more locked doors. “But the hidden figures are

Over the coming years, the Faculty of Science’s four subject libraries will be brought together under one roof. The libraries for geology, biology, physics and astronomy, and chemistry will leave their current premises and move into a shared home in the Astronomy Building, where a study centre is also planned.The relocation of the libraries is the result of several changes: an extensive densificat

There is no doubt that retailing is undergoing a significant structural transformation. During the last decade or so, many stores have closed. Yet, at the same time, online retailers are opening physical stores and showrooms and many long-established retailers are investing in new and innovative store formats. This suggests that the physical store is not ‘dead’ but that its role and function is ch

For many years there has been an on-going discussion about how academic freedom is being challenged in many parts of the world, including Sweden. And when even some of the strongest academic bastions in the world such as Harvard are now fighting for their independence against the American federal administration’s political directives, it is clear that academia has not been crying wolf. Academic fr

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an

The on-screen lecture looks like any other digital seminar. But this is no normal session. The audience lives in the university town of Zhytomyr in Ukraine, and they are taking part in a series of online seminars organised by around ten researchers and teaching staff from Lund.

In February 2026, the University’s new unified education website, ESU, will be launched. The goal is to make it easier for students to find the right course or programme. The work encompasses new design, new underlying technology, reworked content and new working methods for information about education. The project, which has been in progress for several years, has involved many people from all pa

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease make up the world’s most common diseases. A new biobank at Lund University in Sweden - the largest of its kind - with stem cells from both those affected and healthy individuals, will contribute to an increased understanding of how these diseases arise. “The goal is for researchers to be able to develop new treatments that can p

So far, the way dolphins navigate, find food and socialise using sound signals has baffled researchers. Josefin Starkhammar, senior lecturer at the Division for Biomedical Engineering, together with colleagues, has now developed an algorithm which brings us closer to understanding the cetaceans’ phenomenal signalling system. In future, the new algorithm could be used to protect dolphins and to dev

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

Researcher Burak Tunca at the School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their

Generativ AI är en fråga som engagerar många av oss just nu. Den finns i samtalen i korridorerna, i undervisningen och i hur vi arbetar. Och även om allt arbete ännu inte syns utåt, så pågår det mycket – både på universitetsgemensam nivå och här hos oss på fakulteten – för att förstå vad detta betyder för våra utbildningar och hur vi ska anamma AI i vår verksamhet på bästa sätt.För oss i fakultets

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,
