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

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

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

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

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

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

Lotta Gränse, ophthalmologist and researcher Lund University and Skåne University Hospital has demonstrated that eye drops containing cortisone can prevent the development of the very serious eye disease ROP in infants. This has revolutionised treatment and means that the majority of children in Sweden’s Southern Healthcare Region with severe ROP do not need conventional treatment under anaesthesi
