The University has been awarded an EU grant of 8.3 million euros for a new international doctoral programme in regenerative medicine and advanced therapy medicinal products. The aim is to improve the environment for regenerative medicine and ATMPs in Europe and facilitate cooperation between research and clinical application. It started as an idea at the Lund Stem Cell Center to train a new genera

We follow up our systematic work environment management every year. This year’s follow-up paints an overall picture that I think is worth pausing to consider. I can see a positive shift in the way we discuss and address work environment issues. Many people have been involved in this development, and I would therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to take pride in this year’s

According to a travel survey conducted last autumn, better public transport and secure bicycle parking at the workplace are the main measures needed to reduce car commuting. There are also differences in travel patterns between faculties. "The travel survey provides a valuable insight into the commuters’ wishes on what can facilitate sustainable travel in their everyday lives. Now we can weave thi

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing. The CASE researchers, associate professors Gunilla Carlsson, Connie Lethin and Agneta Malmgren Fänge, have in previou

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nerv

Annabell Merkel is one step closer to her PhD after completing her thesis nailing ceremony. She has written a thesis entitled ‘Valorising seaweed: Novel food valuation in everyday encounters’, which explores what makes raw materials regarded as food and how seaweed can make that transition in the Swedish food market. The public defence will take place on 22 May. "Novel foods, often positioned as s

Narkosgaser är potenta växthusgaser vars totala globala påverkan hittills varit okänd. Nu publiceras en studie i The Lancet Planetary Health ledd från Lunds universitet som visar att utsläppet från växthusgaser från narkosgaser minskar med 27 procent över de senaste tio åren. Genom att ersätta den narkosgas som har störst klimatpåverkan, hade klimatpåverkan från narkosgaser kunnat minska med ytter

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort den hittills mest detaljerade kartläggningen av epigenomet i de celler som styr kroppens blodsocker. Studien, som publiceras i Nature Metabolism, visar hur kemiska förändringar på DNA påverkar både insulinproducerande betaceller och glukagonproducerande alfaceller – och hur dessa mönster förändras vid typ 2-diabetes. Alla celler i kroppen har samma uppsättn

Vilka hinder finns det för att arbeta användarorienterat och vad krävs för att lyckas? Många verksamheter vill arbeta med användarorientering, men en ny doktorsavhandling visar att det är svårt att lyckas där motstridiga krav och brist på organisatoriska förutsättningar sätter käppar i hjulet. Idag finns det ett stort tryck på verksamheter att de ska jobba på ett användarorienterat sätt. Man talar

Konst samsas med arkeologi när Skissernas museum och Historiska museet ska flytta miljontals magasinerade skatter till ett öppet magasin vid Kunskapsstråket. Packningen pågår. Flytten kommer att göra de unika föremålen långt mer tillgängliga än de är i dag. – Det blir en oerhörd vitamininjektion i synen på vårt materiella kulturarv och hur vi betraktar konst och arkeologi. Det är något helt nytt s
