Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

When Crafoord Prize laureate Veerabhadran Ramanathan visited Lund on 18 May, he combined personal reflections with a powerful scientific message: understanding aerosols and greenhouse gases is key to tackling climate change, but solving the crisis will require new approaches, broad collaboration, and urgent public engagement. On Monday, May 18, Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Distinguished Professor (Eme

We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on

Southern Scandinavia and Northern Germany form a leading life science region with unique research infrastructures that can help transform research into innovation. There is especially a large unused potential for industrial and clinical researchers to use these unique facilities. The HALRIC consortium led by Lund University has now received EU funding to build collaborations between companies, hos

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t

The University’s researchers published no fewer than 76 articles in The Conversation in 2025 – a new record. Altogether, the University’s articles reached an audience of 1.45 million readers last year. The 76 articles represent a substantial increase from the previous year’s total of 55 and reflect the great breadth within the University. The articles cover everything from East Asia and geopolitic

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

In 2022, the world's nations achieved a "Paris Agreement for nature" — the Kunming-Montreal Framework, negotiated during COP15 in Canada. Now, the follow-up meeting, COP16, is set to take place in Cali, Colombia. What is Sweden’s position ahead of this meeting, and what policy processes are underway for the implementation of the framework? And where does research fit into all of this? We posed a f

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification
