– I have red cells in my dish! When the phone call from PhD student Fábio Rosa came through, Professor Filipe Pereira knew that this was the start of something big. All their work had been leading to this moment. The red cells in the dish were from a mouse, and Filipe and his colleagues had been trying to reprogramme them into dendritic cells, specfically type 1 conventional dendritic cells, (cDC1

Royal climate change researcher Harriet Bulkeley doesn’t believe that directives from above cause us to change our behaviour. On the other hand, she believes in the creative and fumbling environmental experiments that she has seen popping up in cities around the world. Now she is going to study climate-friendly initiatives in Sweden. Harriet Bulkeley at the royal lunch following her lecture. Photo

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

The AI ​​chat can answer questions, translate, write code, or write an exciting short story. The possibilities fascinate and perhaps worry some, but what is ChatGPT really about? "The way I see it, the chat bot mainly fulfills two functions; as a coach and as a productivity tool," says Björn Svensson, Director of studies and lecturer in informatics at LUSEM.Björn Svensson is part of a working grou

Science Village will now be the focal point for semiconductor research in Lund after Lars-Erik Wernersson’s research group moved to The Loop. The move is expected to provide new opportunities for collaboration, as well as increased cooperation with MAX IV, ESS, and the upcoming Nanolab Science Village. Lars-Erik Wernersson describes the move as “a strategic step forward”. Lars-Erik Wernersson, pro

In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young woman in Tanzania, having your period is associated with great challenges, myths

Can innovation strengthen research? Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, has done exactly that by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: "Now I think it's genuinely exciting." Do you see increasing integration of innovation within research?"Twenty year

The students, wider society and the path to academic success were important points in Torbjörn von Schantz’s inauguration speech on the University’s foundation day, 28 January. After the usual pomp and ceremony, and with the vice-chancellor’s chain hanging splendidly round his neck, he expressed his thanks for the appointment, which he sees as a great honour. Vice-chancellor Torbjörn von Schantz .

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

With the Research Data Office, the University is working to improve support for researchers in the management of research data. Each faculty now has a data steward to assist researchers in their work with research data. Thomas Tengelin Nyström and Kurt Mattsson share the role of data steward at the Faculty of Science. The new Research Data Office will better support researchers in managing their r

Work on Lund University's establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites.The project gro

Approximately 10–15 per cent of breast cancer cases do not respond to treatment with hormone therapy, which means that they are more aggressive and often recur. An international research team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has uncovered a way to treat these aggressive tumours through manipulation of the connective tissue cells of the tumour. The researchers are now developing a ne

For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total land area that the countries of the world have included in their individual plans for climate action, known as nationally determined contributions. The results show a big divide between the countries' expected land use and the actual potential of land to mitigate climate change. “By totalling the aggregate land area

Very few support climate change, pollution and the general destruction of our planet, but why then is it so hard to make a truly sustainable future desirable? Researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jon Bertilsson have looked into this from a marketing perspective and point to some instances where their field could make a difference.“Marketing in the service of companies has done a tremendous job of creat

In today’s world, where climate change rapidly accelerates and business operations are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the question of what motivates companies to take meaningful environmental action has never been more urgent. Climate change exposes companies to various types of risks, beyond direct physical risks, such as losing market share to competitors with better environ

Heart attacks and strokes are the most common causes of death in the world. One of the biggest risk factors for these diseases consists of elevated levels of blood lipids. Researchers are currently working on developing and testing new methods to help doctors find patients at high risk of these diseases. If proven successful, they could also help patients with diabetes. Many people are unaware of
