In 2022, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow body checking in women's ice hockey. Major hockey nations are now following Lund University's research on the consequences of tougher plays on the ice. A first study shows that almost nine out of ten players in the Swedish women's hockey league are in favour of body checking – regardless of their own size. “We found that interesting. T

By analysing small microvesicles that cells release to communicate with their surroundings in the blood, researchers at Lund University map what happens in the brains of stroke patients. The study published in the scientific journal Stroke expands our understanding of stroke and opens doors to new treatment strategies.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Central Asian migrant workers in Russia have seen fewer job opportunities and lower salaries. Among those trying their luck elsewhere, Turkey has become a popular alternative, especially for women. Sociologists of law Rustamjon Urinboyev and Sherzod Eraliev recently published a book comparing the everyday lives of labour migrants in Russia and Turkey. Central Asia -

Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

Dagens universitet växte fram under medeltiden och har överlevt skiftande statsskick, ekonomiska system, krig och orostider. Men hur hållbart är universitetssystemet framöver? Historieprofessor Johan Östling ser stora förändringar framför oss och betonar att universiteten måste värna sin autonomi medan tid är. I dagens demokratier tar vi för givet att universiteten ska bidra till ett öppet samhäll

Ögonläkaren och forskaren Lotta Gränse vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har kunnat visa att ögondroppar med kortison kan förhindra utvecklingen av den mycket allvarliga ögonsjukdomen ROP hos spädbarn. Det har revolutionerat behandlingen och innebär att huvuddelen av barn i södra sjukvårdsregionen med svår ROP inte behöver traditionell behandling i narkos för att undvika svår sy

Att kunna förutse sjukdomar innan de utvecklas, har blivit lite grand som sökandet efter den heliga graalen. Med den skillnaden att forskningen har större chans att lyckas hitta vad de letar efter, än vad Kung Arturs riddare hade. Och det finns i många fall stora hälsovinster med att tidigt kunna förutse risken för sjukdom: det är bättre att förebygga än att behandla. Biomarkörer är spårämnen i bl
