Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

Why do some people strongly back climate action while others do not? A new international study by LUCSUS researcher Felix Schulz and Christian Bretter, University of Queensland, finds that the answer may be simpler than previously thought. The researchers analysed survey data from nearly 12,000 people across six countries. They discovered that three well-known explanations of environmental behavio

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. What if you could take a substance that allows a nasty bacterium to resist the human immune system and develop it into a drug to help people with completely different diseases? It sounds like a fairy tale for medical researchers. Yet this is precisely what is about to happen in Lund. Lars Björck hopes that the enzyme

At a pub in Yokohama, history of religions scholar Andreas Johansson by chance came in contact with the Japanese mafia, the Yakuza.

With the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors, researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an

A researcher from Lund University in Sweden has managed to install a huge curtain in a remote cloud forest in South America.

Young women who spend all their spare time shopping. Lost, superficial souls with no purpose in life? Or creative and productive people?

If you use your tools correctly, they last longer and you will not have to throw them out and buy new ones. Many of us agree with this sustainable and profitable approach. The same applies to manufacturing companies that want to achieve sustainable production and increase their competitiveness.
