A handful of selected artists have paired up with researchers from the European Spallation Source (ESS) and the results are unexpected meetings, different thoughts and new challenges. Both for the artists and the researchers. The results will help ESS to communicate complex research and the impact it may have on the region and the world. ESS is being built in northeast Lund and this unique materia

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese

After 12 years of conducting work for the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Child Rights, Classroom and School Management programme has resulted in the establishment of an institute for children’s rights. Based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the institute will work to stimulate and support continued research and education promoting children’s

In the late 1980s and over the 1990s, researchers at Lund University in Sweden pioneered the transplantation of new nerve cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease. The outcomes proved for the first time that transplanted nerve cells can survive and function in the diseased human brain. Some patients showed marked improvement after the transplantation while others showed moderate

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have analysed the soft tissue from a fossilized plesiosaur for the first time. The results show that the long-necked marine reptile had both smooth and scaly skin. This was likely so it could both swim rapidly and move along rough seabeds. Plesiosaurs lived in the world's oceans for much of the Mesozoic Era (203–66 million years ago). These reptiles, which

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to identify the most malignant tumours in children. The method involves studying genetic ‘micro-variation’, rather than the presence of individual mutations. In adult cancers, the tumour cells are more genetically variable than healthy cells. When a can

Each year approximately four thousand people in Sweden are diagnosed with lung cancer and nearly as many die each year from the disease. It is the fifth most common form of cancer in Sweden and the one which claims the most victims. At Lund University researchers are working on finding new methods to diagnose and treat the disease. Despite the fact that lung cancer is such a large-scale problem th

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, approximately one in five Swedes are already choosing not to buy American brands. The majority would consider boycotting American products such as Coca-Cola in favour of European or Swedish alternatives. A study conducted by brand researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Norstat Sweden, shows that virtually all Swedish c
