New research is underway at Lund University, led by Dr. Vivien Horvath, a postdoctoral researcher at Lund Stem Cell Center. Supported by a new grant from the Collaborative Center for X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP), Vivien aims to improve our understanding of XDP, a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by the recent insertion of a transposable element. Transposable elements, also known as '

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Somewhere in an abandoned chalk quarry in northeastern Skåne lurks the skeleton of an 84 million-year-old dinosaur. A group of geologists is convinced of it. Now that a number of teeth have been found, the treasure hunt has intensified. The September sun blazes over the extensive chalk quarry outside the Skåne village

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Earlier this week SASNET received a message that the founder and former director of SASNET, Professor Emeritus Staffan Lindberg has died. It is with great sadness that we learned of Staffan’s passing. Staffan was to the very end very active in SASNET, not only as a mentor to current director Andreas Johansson, but als

On April 9, Lund University's Pre-GMP Facility and Skåne University Hospital's ATMP Center - a joint research and development environment where new treatments using cell and gene therapies are developed - will be inaugurated. The aim of the collaboration is to bring research closer to healthcare and make advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) available to more patients. Advanced Therapy Medic

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

Why are some people with obesity protected from type 2 diabetes? Who is at risk of developing gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes? The Hjelt Diabetes Foundation awards two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre grants for projects that are seeking new answers to these questions. Gestational diabetes happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin during pregnancy. The con

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs. Paul Bourgine is

From the vice-chancellor blog: Intensive work is being carried out on how we can open doors for Ukraine at the EU and national levels and at Lund University. Here, we are looking at all possibilities to enable us to take in students, academics and researchers who need to leave their country or will need to study or conduct research in their homeland in the future. We are working according to short

Universitetet saknar en officiell struktur för cirkulär ekonomi. Istället stuvas fullt användbara prylar med några år på nacken undan i skrubbar och förråd. För att få till en förändring och minska slöseriet har biologidoktoranden Carl-Johan Hörberg startat, CLUE, Circular Economy at Lund University. Ett halvt dussin handgjorda stereomikroskop av märket Wild Heerbrugg, modell M5, dumpade i en cont

Maria Stanfors är professor i ekonomisk historia och forskar främst om könsskillnader i arbetsmarknadsutfall förr och nu, men också mer modernt om familjedemografi. Demografi är läran om befolkning och fokuserar på fertilitet, mortalitet, men också förflyttningar och hur folk bildar familjer eller skiljer sig. Vad tycker du utifrån din forskning, är de viktigaste valfrågorna?– Som ekonomisk histor

Charlotta Levay, universitetslektor vid Ekonomihögskolan, ger sin syn på den roll som forskare kan – och bör – ta i samhällsdebatten. Förutom att förmedla evidensbaserade lösningar bör de delta aktivt i diskussionen om vad problemen egentligen handlar om. Under valrörelsen har partierna tävlat med nya, tuffa förslag för att bekämpa gängbrottslig­heten. Särskilda ungdomsfängelser, ADHD-testning av

En ny studie från Lunds universitet och SLU visar att städer påverkar mångfalden av fåglar negativt – i stadsskogar finns det betydligt färre arter skogsfåglar än på landsbygden, även om skogsområdena håller samma kvalitet. Forskarna har undersökt 459 naturliga skogsmarker som ligger i eller nära 32 städer i södra Sverige. Bland annat har forskarna räknat förekomsten av olika fågelarter, och resul
