Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Olga had published academic work over 25 times before she fell victim to a predatory journal. Today she is embarrassed be

In high-demand public services where priority pricing aims to ration access, like medical appointments or visa renewals, a new study by Prakriti Thami reveals that this approach may not always benefit consumers. In settings where public services are capacity-constrained and timely access is critical, such as medical appointments, passport renewals, or visa processing, priority pricing is often use

In an ideal world, perhaps the Psychological Defence Research Institute in Helsingborg would not even exist. But the global situation has brought attention, increased research funding and significant interest in collaboration from wider society. “The entire research institute is built around the idea that the world is troubled.

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

Att det är bra för hälsan att äta mycket grönsaker, fullkorn och baljväxter är välkänt. Mer överraskande är att personer som äter klimatvänligt också uppvisar näringsvärden som är bättre än forskarna hade väntat sig. Det visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet.
