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

Why do some people develop type 1 diabetes and others do not? Worldwide, researchers are now collaborating to find the answer to this complex question. Diabetes researchers at Lund University recently contributed data to a new study that shows that type 1 diabetes develops in three different ways in children. This improved understanding makes it possible for scientists to conduct new types of stud

Carin Alegre Castegren When entering the lower gallery (KHM1) of Malmö Art Academy to see the MFA exhibition entitled “Tremeluz” by Carin Maria Alegre Castegren, I was met by numerous paintings, which all seemed to be in a state of flux. They had a lightness to them, an openness as well as something allusive. When reading the exhibition text, it was clear that Castegren had been thinking of light

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

Work on Lund University's establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites.The project gro

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

MultiPark researchers have discovered a new promising pharmacological approach stimulating recovery after stroke. Professor Tadeusz Wieloch tells about how the MultiPark Innovation Office supported the first steps in converting their academic research findings into something with commercial potential that may finally benefit the patients. Around 80% of people who suffer a stroke permanently lose s

Every person ages, yet only some develop Parkinson’s Disease, and scientists still don’t know why. A new international effort involving a research team from Lund University aims to uncover what makes certain aging brains more vulnerable than others, focusing on the epigenetic changes that accompany growing older. Their work is supported by a new 81 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Acros

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his even

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond–Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. The message came from American entrep

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie
