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

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

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Corona och den följande nedstängingen av universitet över hela världen har betytt att vi alla behövt lära oss undervisa på distans i ett högt tempo. Pedagoger över hela världen har samlat erfarenheter och utvärderat hur det fungerat och talar ofta om samtiden som ”det nya normala” och avser då en situation där både lärare och studenter förväntar sig att undervisning tar tillvara kunskaper och färd

An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst
