But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the F

This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:2) by Lisa Strömbom focuses on the global responses to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In February 2025, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into force, briefly easing the intense humanitarian crisis in Gaza after months of devastating conflict. The truce was structured in three phases. The first stage was implemented and included the ex

From 1666 and for a long time afterwards the entire University was funded by the farms that dowager queen Hedvig Eleonora donated – known as “akademiska hemman” – the academic homesteads. These are still managed by the University and the curre

In a new study, 60,000 Swedish twins were studied. Researchers investigated which role genetic factors play in the development of hand osteoarthritis. The genetic factor seems to be a strong contributor to being diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis when visiting specialist care. In this study, the researchers compared the incidence of hand osteoarthritis diagnosed in specialist care, many times by a

Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers at Lund University in Sweden. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

A team of international researchers led by Professor Johan Jakobsson at Lund University has secured a 52 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative, in partnership with the Michael J Fox Foundation to investigate how mobile genetic elements —commonly referred to as "jumping genes"—contribute to neuroinflammation and the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit
