När Vetenskapsrådet för snart tre år sedan utlyste bidrag till så kallade excellenscenter beviljades totalt 15 nya satsningar runt om i Sverige. Endast ett av dem hamnade i Lund: "COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions".Nu har ett år gått sedan COMMONS invigdes med pompa och ståt ute vid kemiska institutionen. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Hur har centret tagit sig an uppd

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar. Säg att vi skulle stänga alla kolkraftverk idag – då kan vi om tio år ta red

Enkla SMS med råd och pepp kring sunda vanor, kan motivera vissa patientgrupper med högt blodtryck att förändra sina levnadsvanor och förbättra sin kärlhälsa. Det visar studien PUSHME från Lunds universitet som nu publiceras i PLOS One och Preventive Medicine Reports. Högt blodtryck (hypertoni) är idag den vanligaste diagnosen inom primärvården i Sverige och en av de viktigaste riskfaktorerna för

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

Strong external pressure is needed to stop the violence between Israel and Hamas, which has harvested immense humanitarian suffering on both sides. And it must happen quickly, according to Peace and conflict researcher Lisa Strömbom. The UN warns of full-scale war if the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate. Hundreds, many of them children, have been killed in the attack

The chances of being cured of breast cancer have increased in recent decades, however if the tumour has metastasised, the disease remains essentially incurable. One reason for this could be that the metastases are detected late, after they have grown enough to cause symptoms or be seen on a radiological scan. If they could be found sooner, it might be possible to treat the new tumours. Research fi

Amniotic fluid, the protective liquid surrounding an unborn baby, is discarded as medical waste during caesarean section deliveries. However, there is increasing evidence that this fluid is a source of valuable biological material, including stem cells with the potential for use in cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca
