Dagligt intag av en mjölksyrabakterie, som fått namnet Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL19, ser ut att kunna förebygga fetma och minska kroppens så kallade låggradiga inflammation. Åtminstone när det gäller råttor. Caroline Karlsson, doktorand i Livsmedelshygien vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola, har kunnat konstatera att rått

Cancerpatienter som tog emot ett negativt sjukdomsbesked upplevde läkarna som mindre empatiska än patienter som fick ett mer positivt besked. Lundaforskarna bakom studien tror dels att det handlar om rollen som budbärare av ett så negativt besked. Men också om att läkare i en slimmad vårdorganisation tenderar att tappa bort mottagandet av patientens känslor. I studien ingick 186 cancerpatienter vi

Nu är vi ungefär en tredjedel igenom EU:s ramprogram för forskning och innovation – Horisont Europa (2021–2027) – och kan börja se trender över hur det går för Lunds universitet och våra forskare. I universitetets nya forskningsstrategi 2023–2026 är målsättningen att LU ska bli Sveriges främsta deltagare i EU:s ramprogram, såväl sett till antal projekt som beviljade medel. Hittills når också Lunds

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the health care system was strained already before the coronavirus crisis. Lack of intensive care units and respirators and the difficult economic situation in most African countries limit the resources to combat the pandemic.

USA och EU har sedan det andra världskriget haft en nära förbindelse, men de senaste åren har den transatlantiska relationen försämrats avsevärt. Med Donald Trump åter i maktens korridorer tyder allt på ytterligare utmaningar i samarbetet. Han har redan hotat med tullar mot EU, föreslagit att erövra Grönland från Danmark och antytt att han kan dra tillbaka det amerikanska stödet till Ukraina. Den

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New research highlights how coastal planning and environmental restoration overlook social needs, cultural claims and existing vulnerabilities. Using Louisiana’s coastal wetlands as a case, researcher David O’Byrne argues that it is high time to turn away from a narrowly economic approach to coastal restoration, and i

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of
