In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients. The stem cell researchers at the IndiCell innovation environment have been award

För omkring 540 miljoner år sedan uppstod plötsligt ett överflöd av liv i haven – en händelse som har kommit att kallas den kambriska explosionen. Länge var forskarna överens om att denna utveckling drevs av ökade syrenivåer i atmosfären. Men ny forskning av geobiologen Emma Hammarlund vid Lunds universitet vänder nu upp och ner på vad man trott varit sant i decennier. Hur hamnade hon på ett helt

Återberättade händelser om våld förvanskas beroende på vem som återberättar och vilket våld det handlar om. Det leder till att media och människor förmedlar en skev bild av allvaret i det som faktiskt skett. Vissa händelser skattas allvarligare när de återberättas i efterhand och vice versa. AI gör dock en mer korrekt bedömning. Det visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. I den första studie

Större delen av avdelningen för atomfysik vid Lunds universitet hade samlats i ett rymligt rum med storbildsskärm för att invänta tillkännagivandet av 2023 års Nobelpristagare i fysik från Kungliga vetenskapsakademin den 3 oktober. Nobelhemligheten är såklart rådande, men det fanns ändå en viss förväntan i luften. Detta är en översatt text från "The Conversation" som Sune Svanberg, professor emeri

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

Delfinernas sätt att med ljudsignaler navigera, hitta mat och socialisera – har hittills gäckat forskarna. Josefin Starkhammar, universitetslektor vid avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik, har tillsammans med kollegor utvecklat en algoritm som tar oss närmare förståelsen av djurens fenomenala signalsystem. Den nya algoritmen kan i framtiden användas för att skydda delfiner, utveckla ultraljudstekni

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities. Sweden’s handling of the pandemic had been rather ‘relaxed’; it had not enforced any strict lock-downs

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

The AI ​​chat can answer questions, translate, write code, or write an exciting short story. The possibilities fascinate and perhaps worry some, but what is ChatGPT really about? "The way I see it, the chat bot mainly fulfills two functions; as a coach and as a productivity tool," says Björn Svensson, Director of studies and lecturer in informatics at LUSEM.
