For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to fight disease and has great potential, both in cancer and in autoimmune diseases where established treatments are insufficient.To capitalise on this development, a joint hub for stakeholders in the fi

We are advancing stem cell research, unlocking the potential of stem cells to develop improved treatments and cures for the patients of tomorrow. A stem cell is a cell that can both replicate itself and develop into various specialised cells in the body, such as blood cells, nerve cells or insulin-producing cells. This combination of unique abilities makes stem cells an invaluable resource when pa

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

Less waste. Better quality. Reduced environmental impact. A safer work environment. By understanding burr formation, that is, of how much undesirable material is formed, in connection with cutting in the manufacturing industry, for example, it is possible to achieve significant economic and environmental benefits. However, knowledge in this area is limited. This is what Henrik Persson at the Facul

In the past, it has been common practice to perform analyses of archaeological sites after excavations have been completed and covered again with soil. But with the revolutionary development of digital technologies, we can now identify archaeological information that was previously invisible to the naked eye. “As I dig, I am also destroying. Archaeologists must document it before. But with 3D docu

Flera forskningsprojekt vid vår avdelning är inriktade på att bättre förstå mekanismer som ligger bakom utvecklingen av svåra infektionssjukdomar, fr.a. orsakade av bakterier men också av virus och svampar. Utgångspunkten för arbetet har ofta varit upptäckten av bakteriella ytproteiner och enzymer som på olika sätt interagerar med människans försvarssystem (medfödd och förvärvad immunitet och blodSeveral research projects at our Division are focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to the development of severe infections caused preferentially by bacteria, but also by viruses and fungi. The starting point for this work has often been the discovery of bacterial surface proteins and enzymes that interact with human defenses (innate and acquired immunity and blood coagulati

By invading Ukraine, Russia is not only violating international law - it is also preventing people in Ukraine from enjoying the most basic human rights, such as the right to health care, medicine and education.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the link between exposure to PFAS and the development of asthma. The results show that among children whose mothers had very high levels of PFAS exposure during pregnancy, the risk of asthma was significantly higher than among children whose mothers had lower levels of PFAS exposure. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are
