Isolation is a major problem for many in Academia. To counteract this among its doctoral students, the working group for diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) within the Stem Cell Centre invited an expert in the field to the start of this year's Gaduate School. If we foster a greater sense of belonging, we can boost feelings of safety and connection, ultimately leading to improvements in innovat

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The complement proteins that circulate in our blood are an important part of our immune system. They help identify bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms, making it easier for our white blood cells to find and neutralise dangerous microbes. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a previous

What can be done about the fact that more Ukrainian civilians die in traffic accidents than from Russian bombs? How is it that trains run on time – even though Ukraine is at war? And how do you rebuild a country that wants to move beyond the old Soviet structures, with a green transition in sight? These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the bo

The aim of this thesis was to investigate imaging techniques to study tissues and degenerative changes related to knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is commonly affecting the knee joint. At a late stage of the disease, the articular cartilage that covers the bone surfaces in the joint breaks down and disappears. Other tissues are also affected, e.g., the meniscus that is important for distributin

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

A novel research report maps how workers are experiencing efforts to decarbonise the steel industry in Sweden. It identifies how people’s expectation of change is marked by previous transitions, that blue- and white-collar workers view transitions differently, and how work is a source of great pride to people.
