Vice-Chancellor’s blog: On 23 May, I once again had the honour of giving the doctoral degree conferment speech in Lund’s beautiful cathedral. This year the starting point of the speech was interaction, such as that between the reason-based Age of Enlightenment and the emotionally-driven Romantic era. The interaction between sense and sensibility not only shapes our private life, but also cultural

The Darknet is often described as criminal, lawless and in need of external control. New research by sociologist Tove Westberg, however, shows that cryptoforums on the Darknet function as complex social communities, shaped by norms, trust and informal social control. Today, Friday 10 April 2026, Tove Westberg marks the successful defence of her doctoral thesis in sociology at Lund University. The

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

When researchers at Lund University in Sweden performed advanced analyses of sputum from the airways of severely ill Covid-19 patients, they found high levels of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). It is already a known fact that NETs can contribute to sputum thickness, severe sepsis-like inflammation and thrombosis. After being treated with an already existing drug, the NETs were dissolved and

NEW THESIS ON ULTRA-FAST PHYSICS: By firing a short laser pulse at an atom, an electron can be ejected from its previous context. What happens to it, where does it go? In his thesis, Hugo Laurell develops a method to study ejected electrons and their behaviour. His work may have implications for the development of new materials and for photochemistry. Hi Hugo, you will defend your thesis soon, wha

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

Since 2005, the guidelines for the care of unconscious cardiac arrest patients have been to cool the body temperature down to 33 degrees Celsius. A large, randomised clinical trial led by Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden has shown that this treatment does not improve survival. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. “These results will affect the current guidelines

Lund University and Tetra Pak Processing are joining forces to build one of the largest precision fermentation research facilities in the Nordics. Microorganisms will be selected, fine-tuned and trained to convert inedible waste into food and materials for a growing population. The term “precision fermentation” is being used increasingly by biotechnology and food experts. As resources dwindle and

The whisked liquid left over when boiling beans and chickpeas – aquafaba – can replace egg whites in providing the right consistency for mayonnaise, cakes and desserts. It has therefore become a popular alternative among vegans, but within the food industry it is rare to find aquafaba as an ingredient. Now, a group of

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have shown that a group of proteins are crucial for smooth muscle function in the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of these proteins leads to a lethal condition called intestinal pseudo obstruction in mice. The findings play a major role in our knowledge of organs that are dependent on nor

How credible are research results? A new biology study shows that the same data can give different answers depending on the method of analysis used – raising questions about the stability of scientific conclusions. To strengthen credibility, researchers need to be better at accounting for their methods. Ever since the 17th century, when modern scientific research was born, methods have been refine
