A new study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for cancer in the lymphatic system, or lymphoma. Now, the researchers underline the need for more research on the topic. Our knowledge regarding the long-term health effects of tattoos is currently poor, and there is not a lot of research within this area. Now a research group at Lund University has investigate

Do you think that people with obesity have themselves to blame? Tune H Pers tries to dispel persistent myths through his research on the brain's role in the development of obesity. The diabetes researcher at the University of Copenhagen is now awarded the LUDC Leif C. Groop award for his research on obesity and type 2 diabetes. This year's recipient Tune H Pers investigates, among other things, th

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

The University’s strategic platform has been updated for 2025 and is now applicable until 2027. Looking ahead, the platform will now be reviewed annually to ensure that it is optimally calibrated. "It is very pleasing to see that the University has started to climb the rankings in recent years. Lots of measures across many fronts have played a role, including the initiatives on international impac

The proposal for a renewed Campus Plan will soon be subject to a consultation round. It is an update of the current Campus Plan which will soon expire. For two years, the Campus Development Office has been drawing up the Campus Plan in collaboration with consultants and on behalf the Campus Development Council. The Campus Plan covers a lot of space – Lund University has around 540,000 square metre

Are you thinking about starting to commute to work by bike now that the spring is coming, but maybe you can't quite get started? Here are some of the university's test cyclists, in Innovation Skåne's project Case: Supercycle routes, with their best tips. Recently you could read in LU News about how both fitness and sleep improved for most of the test cyclists, even though the project only lasted s

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what
