Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved.

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell? In order to take high resolution microscopic images of living biological material, you need to know exactly where to point the microscope. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a software solution for smart, data-driven microscopy, which mak

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

PhD student Lina Lefstad is passionate about working towards just climate change mitigation. She is excited about how we as a society can use CCS technology in the most just and effective way for the technology to genuinely contribute to decarbonisation and emissions reductions.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovi

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

When researchers are working in the field, they may be faced with challenging and sometimes dangerous situations. How does Lund University prepare its doctoral students and researchers for fieldwork? When LUM asks about the faculties’ procedures, it becomes clear that the departments are primarily responsible. Dealing with dangerous situations in the field once they have arisen is not enough – the

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the
