Paradigm shift in the diagnosis of diabetes

A completely new classification of diabetes which also predicts the risk of serious complications and provides treatment suggestions. We are now seeing the first results of ANDIS – a study covering all newly diagnosed diabetics in southern Sweden — published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The major difference from today’s classification is that type 2 diabetes actually consists of several

Giant curtain will help scientists study threats against cloud forests

A researcher from Lund University in Sweden has managed to install a huge curtain in a remote cloud forest in South America. The aim is to study how these valuable forests are affected if clouds are elevated due to global warming. The world’s cloud forests are facing the threat of rapid climate change, as global warming may lead to clouds being pushed higher up in the sky. If the lowest level of c

Marker involved in lymphatic system connected to heart failure

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new marker in the blood that is associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Surprisingly, the marker is not directly involved in how the heart functions, unlike most of the previously known markers. Instead, the new marker affects processes in the lymphatic system. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump a suff

New method increases life span of donated brain tissue

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method that enables them to use donated brain tissue from people with epilepsy for 48 hours. Previously, the researchers only had 12 hours to test new treatments before the structure of the cells started to break down. The research has now been published in the journal Scientific Reports. In about one in three people suffering from epilepsy

New honorary doctors: Experts on women in peace processes and the gender shift

Women’s role in peace processes, and fluid boundaries between male and female in society and popular culture. These are topics researched by the new honorary doctors in social sciences – Jacqui True and Jack Halberstam – whose degrees will be conferred on 25 May in Lund Cathedral. Jacqui True is a professor of political science and international relations at Monash University’s Gender, Peace and S

New treatment for aggressive breast cancer

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

Lund astrophysicist on the legacy of Stephen Hawking

Professor of Astronomy Melvyn Davies at Lund University discusses the legacy of renowned scientist Stephen Hawking. "He leaves the subject in a vibrant state", says Davies. Tell us about your research - what are you focusing on at the moment?Working with Ross Church and colleagues in the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, we consider how black holes form in the centres of stellar clu

People are willing to pay to curate their online social image

Social media provides a new environment that makes it possible to carefully edit the image you want to project of yourself. A study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that many people are prepared to pay to ”filter out” unfavorable information. Economists Håkan Holm and Margaret Samahita have investigated how we curate our social image on the web using game theory. Previous studies have been

Fish accounted for surprisingly large part of the Stone Age diet

New research at Lund University in Sweden can now show what Stone Age people actually ate in southern Scandinavia 10 000 years ago. The importance of fish in the diet has proven to be greater than expected. So, if you want to follow a Paleo diet - you should quite simply eat a lot of fish. Osteologists Adam Boethius and Torbjörn Ahlström have studied the importance of various protein sources in th

New method manages and stores data from millions of nerve cells – in real time

Recent developments in neuroscience set high requirements for sophisticated data management, not least when implantable Brain Machine Interfaces are used to establish electronic communication between the brain’s nerve cells and computers. A new method developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden makes it possible to recode neural signals into a format that computer processors can use inst

Children with physical disabilities are at higher risk of poor mental health

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even children with limited physical disabilities are at risk of developing mental issues later in life. Girls and adolescents from socio-economically vulnerable families are at greatest risk. The study was published in the reputable journal PLOS ONE. With the help of national register data, Lund researchers conducted a follow-up of more than 60

Gut bacteria can mean life or death for birds

In her upcoming thesis at Lund University in Sweden, biologist Elin Videvall shows that the composition of gut bacteria in birds has a major impact on whether their offspring will survive their first three months. “My findings could be important for increasing survival rates”, she says. Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi can cause diseases, but they can also promote health, affect

Chance is a factor in the survival of species

In a major study, biologists at Lund University in Sweden have studied the role of chance in whether a species survives or dies out locally. One possible consequence according to the researchers, is that although conservation initiatives can save endangered species, sometimes chance can override such efforts. Species that differ considerably in their ecology rarely have problems living in close pr
