One of the medical students who has begun working at Skåne University Hospital to strengthen Skåne's health service in the fight against Covid-19 is Hanna Djerf. For her, giving help where it’s needed is an obvious thing to do. She is also gaining valuable insight into how intensive care works. At the end of March, th

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A Swedish-Danish research team is now launching a new theory of the process that led to the formation of Earth. Through advanced analyses of meteorites, astronomers can determine that Tellus went from being a baby planet made of ice and carbon to reaching its current size thanks to millimetre-sized pebbles. The study

The University has revised the rules for partial pension. The new rules apply from 1 September 2024 and mean that you can apply for partial pension of up to 20 per cent from the age of 63 onwards. Under the University’s current rules, which apply until 31 August 2024, it is possible to apply for up to 20 per cent partial pension from the age of 61, but a greater scope may be approved if there are

Of course, I know that climate change is happening. I can explain the greenhouse effect. I even use climate change as an argument for banning meat from my diet, reducing my consumption of animal-based products,
Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin can suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment.
