How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th
Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience.

Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “We have to become much better at actively pursuing human rights issues in the public debate”, says Morten Kjaerum who since last spring is new director at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute in Lund. His goal is to make the Institute more visible: within the University, locally, nationally and internationally. Morten Kjae

När nyheterna om snar vaccinering kom i december, förändrades folks vilja att följa restriktioner. Och det tidiga stödet för den svenska strategin sjönk mellan april och december 2020 – och tunnades ut till någon slags mellanmjölk. Det säger nationalekonomen Erik Wengström som har studerat svenskarnas beteenden och attityder under pandemin. Efter ett och ett halvt år med pandemirelaterade restrikt

By presenting cancer research as a battle between good and evil – and himself as a hacker attacking cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in the Researchers' Grand Prix. His win is the fifth in a row for Lund University and the second in a row for Lund Stem Cell Center - in the competition where researchers from all over the country challenge each other in presentati

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

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

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p
