The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at

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

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra
